Remember Your Roots
Africa is the best place for every peaceful
people to be,
Remember you belong to Africa and come
back.
Your ancestors tried their best to come back
home but they failed.
Are you failing too?
Are you happy there?
Your home does not smell badly, come back
to develop the rich soils where millions of
black, white, and coloured people slept and
transformed into precious stones.
Remember where you came from,
No one will call you stranger in Africa,
Because of your skin colour,
mentality, and behaviour.
Even though almost four hundred years passed
already, no one can brainwash you.
The poisonous snakes cannot bite you into
the African forests.
You are the kings of the forests and the seas.
Remember your origin land,
remember who you are, everyone knows that
you belong here not there.
Remember where you are and Come back to
help your brothers and sisters in order to win
the battle.
You are welcome in Africa.
