rbn - god bless black africa lyrics
[intro – ferno blaze]
black africa. the cradle of civilization
a nation shackled by chains but still rules in the midst of adversity
so if you with it you with it
if not fade away. we stay winning. true
[verse – ferno blaze]
i spit the mother tongue in the father land
of black warriors, n0ble men, kings and queens
great minds great thinkers tyrants in between
but you can judge us by mandela not idi amin
black africa. god bless black africa
hear the slave cry of generations sold to slavery
i will not rest till i tell their story
i will not rest till we bathe in glory
kenyetta brought uhuru to his people
liberation jampacked with each word
my heart bleeds for the young boys deep in the jungle
chopping off limbs, say he r.u.f
think he young charles taylor
they say the shall grow
but the young just came up and they still ain’t grown
they say the young shall rule but they see no throne
see the ones that know are the ones that know
the ones that don’t are the ones that don’t
but we know that we are kings
so we cannot be some filthy apes
black africa god bless black africa
one nation divided by imaginary lines
diverse in culture but together we are one
from kilimanjaro to the river nile
from nigeria down to tanzania
blood diamonds tore sierra leone apart
apartheid in the land of the zulus
independence was just to get loose
my tiv came out from the bantus
hausa yoruba that’s my people’s too
igbo how can i forget you black africa
[first bridge – raymond luca]
hey now, we will rise again (we cannot lose)
africa will rise again (we cannot lose)
we cannot lose
[hook – ferno blaze]

god bless black africa
black africa. (black africa)
god bless black africa
black africa. (black africa)
god bless black africa. (black africa)
[verse two – luey]
lemme take you back on a journey through time
before the portuguese or the dutch crossed our minds
before the slave ships when they marched us in line
to foreign lands as farm hands or workers in the mine
way before the child soldiers to a time
we were kings having gold cups full of wine
finest minds served in our courts at the time
civilization built a sphinx at a time mehn
black africa. the m-ssacres
much colder than antarctica
from idi am to abacha
south africa to rwanda
my people strong, we will hold on
and carry on till kingdom come
our skin is black, earth suit model one
we are the fruit of the son
but some told us we n-ggas from slums yeah
deception from eden still runs in the system
through lying gorrillas and serpents who scheming
through rulers who trying to rule us with cruel laws
trying to clip our wings
dying to k!ll us
k!ll our dreams k!ll our visions
k!ll our p-ssion k!ll our commitment
k!ll our children in the name of religion
yet we will fight. rise up and fly
like sp-ceships in flight, light up the sky
from gboko to cotonou
congo to oturkpo
morocco sokoto soweto ugbokolo
bukuru buruku taraku kilimanjaro
you beautiful black africa
land of the blessed africa
you beautiful black africa
land of the blessed africa
you beautiful black africa
[second bridge – raymond luca]
they know that no matter how much they fight us
we will never give in
we are standing on the solid ground
beautiful africa we will rise
we will soar we will fly
[hook – ferno blaze]
black africa. (black africa)
god bless black africa
black africa. (black africa)
god bless black africa
black africa. (black africa)
god bless black africa
black africa. (black africa)
god bless black africa. (black africa)
