You see all dem people whey you see over deh so
Dem is just one set a people who have nothing to do
With the development and upliftment of I and I as a race
Well it's Anthony be , Buju Banton and Garnett Silk
And I hope you're fine too
I hope when you hear these words
Your grays turn blue, grays turn blue
I will break these chains
Of their subhuman bondage
With negative thoughts in diverse places
Posses the state of mind to declare anytime
Say Mama Africa a yours and mine
Own a continent no island never deh pon mi mind
This was well-orchestrated plan from long time
Soon I shall be home and everything will be fine
When you see the lion running wild know that is a sign
Of an ancient order royal and divine
With all the natural resource to satisfy mankind
Black starliner gonna carry us home
What will you do you don't want to be left alone
I've been waiting watching from the distant shore
At every passing vessel my teardrops flow
Could it be in my direction it goes
Beaulah land beckons trod home trod home
The sweetest things are there to be found
The fresh vegetation which comes from the earth
Oh Mama Africa you make me know what life is worth
