Exodus Africa

The wave of poverty
  The wave of ye illness,
  Them try to stop thyself
  To limit your highness.
  QUEEN  AFRICA!
  Queen of Selassie
  Womb of Mandela.	
  Throw your core anchor,
  Bring thyself,ye hefty vigor.
  Poverty trying to make you sail backward,
  To retard your growth
  Make your children awkward.
  Wave of death trying
  To steal your blessing,
  O AFRICA!, throw your core anchor
  And stop that aggressing.
  EXODUS AFRICA!
  Ye children unite to make you so strong
  Ye children unite to make you proud,
  Them sing ye liberty,very loud and aloud.
