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
