The richest continent is still condemned

Demoralized but yes we still contend

The blood of my ancestors we go heap pon dem

Throw pon dem yeah

Ah so they took our gold

Infinite riches untold, yeah

Humiliation took it’s toll

And left a big big hole

Still they mine our soil

Everytihng from diamonds to oil yeah

Down in the Congo it’s coltan

Tungsten in Rwanda

Uranium in malawi land

Bauxite in Guinea and Chad

Platinum, zirconium

Iron ores, palladium

Treasures from Alkebulan …

Chorus

Why is Africa so rich but poor

White supremacy and greed is at the core

More goes out than comes back in the door

The world revolves around African shores

Corruption and violence we will endure

Against the poverty life we ensure

Colonial downpression was just a detour

African greatness so secure
