"Africa" lyrics

"Africa"

Obatala, kosi wahala

Tracing those relations Eritrean born from pain
Confrontations Ethiopians your enemies
Those peace agreements you conspiracist you holding hands enslaved
Black as magic, bows and arrows huts, Hutus, machetes
You spoke in tongues
I made you flowers from these yams and picked your brain
You spoke in tongues and told me languages 500 we say?

You spoke in tongues
Back to Africa, then donations to kids
You spoke to drums, tribal scars and victims bodies piling in

Dodo suya you stole pleasantries you Caucasian with dreads
Spices cheap! Injera the Buddhas, evil eyes that live
Your woolly hair you said my talk is cheap you prophesied my hurt

Yawa dey, Olodumare
Peace to Mother Earth

Yawa dey, Olodumare
Peace to Mother Earth
