Jay's - African People

They took a whole African nation
Changed our laws and valuation
Took away our way of life
Our spares, our gold and our wives
Took away our native tongue
Taught their English to our young
And all the things we made by hand
Are nowadays made in Japan

African people! African tribe!
So proud we live, so proud we'll die!

They took the whole African nation
Taught us so called civilization
Although they've changed our ways of home
They'll never change our hearts and souls

African people! African tribe!
So proud we live, so proud we'll die!

But maybe someday when they've learned
African people, will return
They've got to return!
Power to the African people
They've got to return!
