African Race

Lyrics

[Intro] We are the slave descendants from the African race The African race, the African race We are the slave descendants from the African race Where proud is no disgrace [Verse 1] Our forefathers were taken away, taken away, taken away Yeah, they were bound in ships and shackled all the way Like baggage and brought to the west They swapped my brother now, also my sister too For a drink of wine, so they could drink and be merry So they could drink and be merry [Interlude] [Verse 2] I speak Amharic, my sister speaks Swahili They put us all together now, that's why we can't understand That's why we can't understand [Outro] We are the slave descendants from the African race The African race, the African race We are the slave descendants from the African race Where proud is no disgrace We're proud of the African race Where proud is no disgrace We're proud of our African race Where proud is no disgrace
