Lyrics
Afrika Is Not Independent
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.
african continent
was invaded
and divided
by western crusades:
the french, the british
the portuguese and the spanish
don't blame nobody
that was just a business
in god's name
today we are all independent countries
but we are still begging for help
because we belong
to the poorest nation in the planet
a good name for those
who cannot feed
and take care of their own people
don't blame no french
blame no british
blame no portuguese
and spanish
blame your greedy
selfish dictator
african government
millions of african children
are dying every year
of starvation
malnutrition and disease
from so-called independence
we had dictatorship
we went to war
downfall to the bottom
and we still belong
to the poorest nation on the planet
we the people are calling african nation
to reach out to each other and unite
