Africa (Shakara)

Shey you know where I'm from

Oluwababy to the world

I no go lie e dey my tongue

Oluwa give me and I talk ye ye

The journey way up to the top

Some people tell me make I stop

Some other people show me love

And now they wanna play my song

African dance Do shakara

I say my people no go para, if I waka

I want to celebrate my mama

Call my papa

To all my people when dey survive

Do your waka.

I love my country but the suffer suffer

Today tomorrow we go waka waka

Hunger dey no be corner corner

We go to church oya fada fada.

Election come dem go scatter scatter

The government self we go Hala Hala

Oga on top Mr Laba Laba,

Wetin dem talk get e comma comma.

Che kem che kem che che che

Che kem che kem che che che

Che kem che kem che che che

Che kem che kem che che che

African dance Do shakara

I say my people no go para, if I waka

I want to celebrate my mama

Call my papa

To all my people when dey survive

Do your waka (Yeba!)

Do your waka, Do your waka

To all my people when dey survive

Do shakara

Say make you celebrate your mama

Tell your papa

To all the ladies with the Baka

Do shakara

Make we celebrate oh yeh

I want to jubilatate (higher)

African woman you no be yama yama

Your body badda badda

E fit to cause e Yawa (Cause e yawa)

Keeemon!
