Nneka - Africans paroles de (lyrics)

U keep pushing the blame
On our colonial fathers
U say they came and they
Took all we had processed
They have to take the abuse that they have
Caused our present state with
Their intruding history
Use our goodness and nourishment in
The Name of missionary
Lied to us, blinded slaved us
Misplaced us, strengthen us
Hardened us then they replaced us now we got
To learn from pain
Now it is up to us to gain some recognition
If we stop blaming we could
Get a better condition

Wake up world! Wake up and stop sleeping
Wake up Africa! Wake up and stop blaming
Open ur eyes! Stand up and rise
Road block oh life penalty
Why do we want to remain where we started
And how long do we want
To stop ourselves from thinking
We should learn from experience that what
We are here for this existence
But now we decide to use the same
Hatred to oppress our own brothers
It is so comfortable to say
Racism is the cause
But this time it is the same
Color chasing and biting us
Knowledge and selfishness that they
Gave to us, this is what we use to abuse us

Wake up world! Wake up and stop sleeping
Wake up Africa! Wake up and stop blaming
Open ur eyes! Stand up and rise
Road block oh life penalty

Those who have ears let them hear
Brothers who are not brainwashed
Take ruins and rest
Pick them up and stick them back together
This is the only way we
Can change this African weather
Lied to us, blinded slaved us
Misplaced us, strengthen us
Hardened us then they replaced us now we got
To learn from pain

Wake up world! Wake up and stop sleeping
Wake up Africa! Wake up and stop blaming
Open ur eyes! Stand up and rise
Road block oh life penalty
You got to wake up please, you got too
(Wake up Africa, wake up and stop blaming)
Blaming ha, ha, ha open yours eyes your eyes
Stand up and rise road block oh life penalty
Wake up
