'Cos I be real Africa

Tough like metal and steel Africa

You for keep am real Africa

They don't know how it feels to be Africa-na-na, Africa na

Tell me what's the deal right now

To tafè reveal right now, right now

Do you really want to make it fall apart, ah ah art

Make e fall apart?

You want eh-eh (mǐ wá lā)
