Letra de Born In Africa Original Radio Version

The past has gone
The future is yet to come
Hear this

Going back to my roots
Born in Africa
'Cause I'm born in Africa
Born in Africa
Going back to my roots
Born in Africa
'Cause I'm born in Africa
Born in Africa

True born african
A true
'Cause I'm a true born african
Jah know
Say mi come from nigeria the land of oil
The land of diamond, gold and sugarcane
Sugarcane
We plant cassava and sweet potatoes
We have a lot of things, but no discipline
Discipline
That's what we got from colonialism
All this was babylon business

Going back to my roots
Born in Africa
'Cause I'm born in Africa
Born in Africa
Going back to my roots
Born in Africa
'Cause I'm born in Africa
Born in Africa

White man never give up Africa
White man never give the business
Business
Why this division in Africa
Why this division in the system
It doesn't have no moral, no self conscious
Some of them went to America
Some of them to the Caribean
Some of them died over the Atlantic

Going back to my roots
Born in Africa
'Cause I'm born in Africa
Born in Africa
Going back to my roots
Born in Africa
'Cause I'm born in Africa
Born in Africa

Angola, Rwanda, Nigeria, Morocco, Tunisia and Ghana
Going back to my roots
Born in Africa
'Cause I'm born in Africa
Born in Africa
Going back to my roots
Born in Africa
'Cause I'm born in Africa
Born in Africa

A true born African
