Traitors Of Africa
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I look my front, I see my people, they cry
I look my back, I see them they cry
On my left, on my right, I see them they cry
All around me, I see them they cry
So I ask them why then they cry?
When I ask them why then they cry
Then tell me, then tell me, then tell me
I hear them tell me why I ask them
If council elections can bring corruption
If kill the Dneiper can spoil Nigeria
I hear them tell me why I ask them
'Cause they cry, oh, aha, aho, huh, huh
Men like this can spread them
All over Africa
To rid this filthy water for all
Their colonial masters
These sufferers of worry and woe
No repo then to see thee
The damage them then do their lives now
Of their brothers and sisters
Now, the small mud the house over season
Then kill their fathers and brothers
Then don't sell their lives away
To their colonial masters
These lovers are boiling low
Don't spoil Africa
They're must be no rightful nation
Ask the traitors of Africa
Traitors of Africa, traitors of Africa
Traitors of Africa, traitors of Africa
Traitors of Africa, traitors of Africa
