Oh mama Africa
Mama Africa ei
Oh mama Africa
On the cross when Jesus saw my hard work
He holla me say keep the fire burning
But when E sa be ma HIPC wahala income in Africa
He wept bitterly and chat me say
Oya pick race call fire service to quench the fire
Na me talk am but I dey lie, I dey lie

Chorus
Repeat 3x
Oh Africa! We have the resources
But we are still suffering
Fighting and killing ourselves

Verse 1
Make I talk am na wah for Africa
We have the resources we keep falling
No hope for future leaders
Yes oh our salary, useless
Effortless labour, valueless education
Oh no our youths jobless
Education they say na best way to success
After graduation nothing like progress
Our people always they suffer suffer
Some of them no fit chop once a day
Talk less of where to sleep,uuu
Oh God,uuu save mother Africa
Na people of Africa they suffer too much
Save mother Africa na future leaders dey suffer too much
Oh no we dey suffer too much
Ah na wah, Africa wake up
We dey suffer, Africa wake up

Repeat Chorus 2x

Verse 2
Apart from you and I fellow citizen
Nobody can develop Africa
Apart from me and you, country man
Nobody can better Africa
E no be say I dey talk too much
Our resources dey make some people rich
E don tey but the problem na the same
Some people always they play us game
How can we progress from begging?
Tell me before I go..crazy.
Enough na enough modern slavery
Arise and shine leaders of Africa
People dey suffer you no dey see
We don tire stop globe trotting
We don tire stop globe trotting
Oh no what we dey see today
No generation for see some again

Na wah for mother Africa
Wake up Africa, wake up Africa
Just one decision can change a nation
Without a wise leadership
A Nation is in trouble
Take it from me Tutu Alagba
In serving each other, we become free
Yesooo,We become free, na wah Africa

Repeat Chorus
