"Made In Africa"
[INTRO VOICE 1]
Scholars and scientists now conceive that Africa is the first place 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'
[INTRO VOICE 2]
The 225th Emperor [echo] direct descent from Solomon and The Queen of Sheba [echo]
He is the "King of Kings, The Lion of Judah [echo]"
The name Haile Selassie I means "Power of the Trinity"
Verse 1:
AmEducate yourseGlves, of AfricFa
AmTo liberate yourselGf, Africa F
DmKeep your heads up high
No more will we cry Em
Eeeeyh

AmIs written in our souls,G Africa F
DmOldest nation on this earth
Know just what you worth Em
Well well
AmShips that sail to distant places
GRobbed us of our rising woFrlds
AmHistory says that you've betrayed us
GTalking of the Gods yoFu serve
AmHear the rambling in the sky
GTears that our fore fathers cFry
AmAnd today we're still in chains
GTake the shackle from ourF minds

You're that sacred place Em
Aye! Aye-ah-aye!
[Verse 2: Wale]
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 I, "Power of the Trinity"
Soul made in naija, my voice made in Italy
White mans 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
Verse 3:
DmThe richest place on earth
Know just what your worth Em

DmNow we must stand tall
To break down all these wall-alls Em
Well well
AmOur children must be taughtG, of Africa F
AmThe science and the art, AfriGca F

AmEducate yourself, Africa
AmTo liberate yourselves, GAfricaF
