lyrics

Intro:
mama africa (mama)(africa)
yuh know how much i love you
the world cain't live without you
tho they try to doubt you
mama africa (mama)(africa)
tho they use and abuse you
then they rape and rob you
your beauty they cain't deny you

Verse 1:
Yes from the north
way down to tha south
back over in the west
strait forward to the east
you have different tribe and race's
black brown white different face's
many nations with diversity
some think the continent is a country (no!!)

Chorus:
mama Africa (mama) (africa)
yuh know how much i love you
the world cain't live without you
tho they try to doubt you
mama africa
tho they use and abuse you
then they rape and rob you
your beauty they cain't deny you

Verse 2:
up in Tunisia,
Libya, Algeria
Niger down to Chad
Over Sudan were the world gets mad
Don't like whats going on
people suffering from starvation
dry mouth dealing with the drought
ethnic cleansing the talks about (yeeaaa)

Chorus:
Its mama Africa (mama)(Africa)
yuh know how much i love you
the world cain't live without you
tho they try to doubt you
mama africa
tho they use and abuse you
then they rape and rob you
your beauty they cain't deny you

Verse 3:
Now Mandela him free (so free)
and dem host the football party (party)
with Somali pirates they have problems
cause no one tries to help them
and on the Nigerian soil (soil)
its revenue they don't share the oil (tha oil)
now the youths dem turn to violence
some leaders don't have no conscience (no!!!!!!)

Chorus:
mama Africa (mama) (africa)
yuh know how much i love you
the world cain't live without you
tho they try to doubt you
mama africa
tho they use and abuse you
then they rape and rob you
your beauty they cain't deny you

mama Africa (mama) (africa)
yuh know how much i love you
the world cain't live without you
tho they try to doubt you

your beauty they cain't deny you

mama Africa (mama) (africa)
yuh know how much i love you
the world cain't live without you

your beauty they cain't deny
mama africa

Stay strong my brothers
