I and I don't make up I and I mind
To go through the same thing like
I and I foreparents go through
No, before that, cry blood Africa
Cry blood, cry blood Africa
Cry blood cry blood
Cry blood cry Africa
Who are they that invade Africa
Saying that they employ my sister
They were so presumptious
Who dare them to say that
Cry blood, Africa cry blood
Cry Africa cry blood
I and I and I
I come this day to set just foundation,
Upon foundation, in foundation
If any one should trouble,
Cry blood cry Africa cry blood
No more invasion
No more black blood na go run in a River Jordan
No Cry blood cry Africa
Africa, cry blood, cry Africa
It's about time, African and African
Should come together,
Sing the same song
Cry Africa cry blood
The whole wide feel feel it when
Africa continent cry
Cry blood, whose fault
No trouble Africa
Cry blood
Free up Africa
Cry blood, African cry blood
Come on
It's about time African and African
Should hold hands in hands
Yes Jah it was adain
Cry blood cry African
No trouble Africa cry blood
Free Africa, cry blood
Cry, Blood, blood, blood, blood, blood
Blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood
Cry blood cry Africa
Cry blood come together African cry blood
Mek we sing the same songs
Cry blood
Show them we can hold hands in hands
Cry blood
