Did you ever see an african woman nipples run dry,
Because she have no food to eat.
Did you ever see an african woman nipples run dry,
Because she have no food to eat.
Oh african woman, strong woman.
Did you ever see an african woman nipples run dry,
Because she have no food to eat.
Did you ever see an african woman nipples run dry,
Because she have no food to eat
Mmmm african woman.
Every nation of this world should do what they can,
For this african woman.
