African

1 See me rising Through the mist Cameras flashing This is not vain glory Spot lights on me Because I have what it takes God put it there I was told to let My light shine And so when they ask me Who are you? A big fat sunshine grin appears on my face Because I know who I am The word Can’t is not in my vocabulary I’m an AfriCAN 2 I was made in His image Victory is my destiny I’m history in the making I will not fail I am a champion I have nothing to loose If I perish, I perish That’s my creed I am resolved to do what I’m made for Defeat doesnt exist in my world Yes I can Impact or Die This is my resolution I’m born to win I’m an AfriCAN 3 What a shock! is what they said when I emerged through the ashes My hands are blessed My fingers trained for battle Victory runs through my chromes I have no concept of defeat Did I hear cant? Own up! You Charlatan! And Yes I Can because I’m an AfriCAN 4 I will break the heart of my enemies I will hand them the towel to wipe their tears When they experience me it will be epic There will be no remedy For their ultimate tragedy Take that u hater! Victory will be my name On that Blessed day Their lives will never Be the same When the battle is turned at the gates I am anointed to win I’m an AfriCAN by Tetteh Addo
