Stephen Marley - Made In Africa

Scholars and scientists now conceive
That Africa is the birthplace of mankind
Africans were the first builders of civilization
They discovered mathematics
Invented writing, developed sciences
Engineering, medicine, religion, fine arts
And built the Great Pyramids
An architectural achievement which still baffles modern scientists

The 225th Emperor, direct descent
From Solomon and The Queen of Sheba
He is the "King of Kings, The Lion of Judah"
The name Haile Selassie means "Power of the Trinity"

Educate yourselves, of Africa
To liberate yourself, Africa
Keep your heads up high
No more will we cry - eh hey

Our history that they stole, Africa
Is written in our souls, Africa
Oldest nation on this earth
Know just what you worth
Well, well

Ships that sail to distant places
Robbed us of our rights and worth
History says that you've betrayed us
Talking of the God you serve
Hear the rambling in the sky
Tears that our forefathers cry
And today we're still in chains
Take the shackle from our minds
You're the corner stone
The king upon the throne

How beautiful art thou, Africa
All nation have to bow, Africa
Don't you fall from grace
You're that sacred place
Aye! Aye-ah-aye

Power to the people, Motherland representa
I'm on trial with the man, she my co-defendant
And I demand her attention, can you focus women?
I'm getting closer to the sky errytime I hit it
Haile Selassie, "Power of the Trinity"
Soul made in Naija, my vice made in Italy
White man's world that I'm livin' in, some say
But it was Africa the continent we all came from
Can't nothing come between me and you
So before I have seeds, gotta understand my roots
Gotta understand the truth, we is all king's 'round here
Lifes not all fair, work till we fall dead
Paul goin' hard till I urn like a Pall-Bearer
Although my body's in the U.S., my heart's there
I can never be ashamed of her
I got my features and my name from her, Mama Africa

The richest place on earth
Know just what your worth

(..)
Talking about the God you serve

Keep your heads up high
No more will we cry
Well, well

They infiltrate our homes, Africa
They claim it as their own, Africa
Now we must stand tall
To break down all these wall-alls
Well, well

Our children must be taught, of Africa
The science and the arts, of Africa
Na, na, na, na, na, na

Educate yourselves, Africa
To liberate yourselves, Africa
Keep your heads up high
No more will we cry

Beautiful art thou, Africa
A legend have to bow, Africa, oh, oh

Made in Africa (we share Africa, we share Africa)
Made in Africa (we share Africa, we share Africa)
Made in Africa (we share Africa, we share Africa)
Made in Africa (we share Africa, we share Africa)
Made in Africa (we share Africa, we share Africa)
Made in Africa (we share Africa, we share Africa)
Made in Africa (we share Africa, we share Africa)
