Were Is the African God
were is the African God
yesterday never lie
cos it marks keep
speaking on today
we can't deny it facts
either could we erase
it effect on us today
from the longs gone
yesterdays
we understand we were
invaded
off curse the hunters
stoned us with a new God
on the name of missionary
we adopted a strange religion
till today it still lives on
it popularity grows
everyday everywhere
in our homes
in Africa we are use
to two common religion
make it your duty to
find it out
cos am just a writer
whose heart differs
in the quest of originality
I search for my religion
cos he was in existence
before any religion
in my doubt I keep
looking for my own
cos our God is been
replaced
we build temples
we build chapels
to the hunters God
yet before the hunters
invaded our land
our God was our source
to life to peace to love
we lived with it guidance
we were protected by
it blessing to life
it was in existence before
the strangers gave us
their picture
so in my quest of worship
I don't need a strange god
in my quest of protection
I need the God of the land so
were is the African God
