Mama Africa

What have you done 
To yourself mama
What have done 
To yourself Africa
You don't know who you are
Your superiority
Turn into inferiority
For you are into mental slavery
Because of poverty and illiteracy
What have you 
Done to yourself
You have bewitched yourself
You have turn into a beast
So you eat your sons 
And daughters for feast
You don't know  
What is right
So do not know 
The cause to fight  
What have done 
To yourself  mama
What have you done 
To yourself Africa
