African Problems - Seun Kuti

But I must talk am

I go dey sing am

I go dey shout am

Make dem dey hear am

I go dey sing am

I go dey talk am

I must shout am

Make dem dey hear am

I must try to teach the people a new mentality

Make dem appreciate Africa’s superiority

Make dem know say no be so things suppose to be

Na leader dey put us for this mediocrity

Take away our peace our liberty

Leave us to leave in endless pain and poverty

We no understand this their government policy

We dey sell us into second slavery

Make you help me ask them brother

Why we no get food chop

Make you help me ask them sister

Why we no get houses to stay

Salute my brother wey dey die

Die for the future of Africa

Salute my brother wey dey fight

Fight for the future of Africa

Unless we start to (Thinky thinky)

Think of tomorrow (Thinky thinky)

Fight for the future (Fighty fighty)

Them won sell us away (Think thinky,

thinky thinky, fighty fighty, fighty, fighty)

Them won sell us away (Think thinky,

thinky thinky, fighty fighty, fighty, fighty)

I must try to teach the people a new mentality

Make dem appreciate Africa’s superiority

Make dem know say no be so things suppose to be

Na leader dey put us for this mediocrity

Take away our peace our liberty

Leave us to leave in endless pain and poverty

We no understand this their government policy

We dey sell us into second slavery
