New Day AfricaSalute young kings & young queensWe won’t do you like they did us We’ll leave you in a better placeGive you major keys and a platform to thriveDon’t consume yourself with politics, fear or lazinessYou’re a child of the African soilYou have the African lion heart in youAnd everything is rooted from you
The crying sounds of the African drumThe restlessness of the African silenceTell these Europeans, Chinese, Indians, Arabs and our own African traitorsTo leave us alonePay us back for everything you owe us and leave us the fuck aloneIt’s time to start over AfricaTime to get down to the root of thingsWith the knowledge and courage to fix them
Tell our leaders to straighten upThere’s an expiration stamp on your crown And we’re watching, watching real closeWe won’t accept apologies when it’s time to hold you accountable
All I wanted to do was make my mama proud She never had a voice, choice or skill set to live onYo fellows, why do we hold our women back?Is it because we want to hide our weakness?Nah that’s a thing of the past My queens are shot callers and rain makersThey see between the lines and can point out wolves in my heard of sheepThey’re the ones I celebrate my trophies withThe only ones who fill my heart with peace and love
