Say Africa - Vusi Mahlasela[00:00:00]
Written by:Vusi Mahlasela/D. Goldblum[00:00:02]
We crossed Zimbabwe's boarder[00:00:21]
Flew over the dry fields of my homeland[00:00:26]
Coming into Joburg the Sandron swimming pools and Soweto shacks[00:00:31]
Airports and railway stations stranded with a ratpack and guitar[00:00:42]
The languages and the places change[00:00:52]
And the sky has different stars[00:00:57]
I may be walking through the streets of a city called London[00:01:02]
But the dust on my boots and the rhythm of my feet and my heartbeat[00:01:07]
Say Africa[00:01:11]
I may be walking in the streets of a city called Amsterdam[00:01:13]
But the dust on my boots and the rhythm of my feet and my heartbeat[00:01:18]
Say Africa say Africa say Africa[00:01:22]
Say Africa say Africa say Africa[00:01:32]
Say Africa say Africa say Africa[00:01:39]
Sticks and stones and the UN loans and passport controls[00:01:52]
For countries that don't exist[00:01:57]
It's a big world and they have their own problems everywhere[00:02:02]
And there's gold in that clenched fist[00:02:07]
People ask me where I'm from I say Mamelodi township[00:02:13]
In city called Tshwane meaning we are the same[00:02:18]
I have a friend who is a great musician[00:02:23]
And he's from Ebayi near King Williams Town[00:02:26]
You know where Steve Biko was born[00:02:30]
You might have read or seen a film about Africa[00:02:34]
You know it's a big continent[00:02:38]
With the great gift of Ubuntu[00:02:41]
I may be walking in the streets of a city called London[00:02:44]
But the dust on my boots and the rhythm of my feet and my heartbeat[00:02:49]
Say Africa[00:02:53]
I may be walking in the streets of a city called Amsterdam[00:02:54]
But the dust on my boots and the rhythm of my feet and my heartbeat[00:03:00]
Say Africa say Africa say Africa[00:03:03]
Say Africa say Africa say Africa[00:03:13]
Say Africa say Africa say Africa[00:03:21]
I may be walking in the streets of a city called Amsterdam[00:03:56]
But the dust on my boots and the rhythm of my feet and my heartbeat[00:04:01]
Say Africa[00:04:05]
I may be walking in the streets of a city called New York[00:04:06]
But the dust on my boots and the rhythm of my feet and my heartbeat[00:04:11]
Say Africa say Africa say Africa[00:04:15]
Say Africa say Africa say Africa[00:04:25]
Say Africa say Africa say Africa[00:04:33]
Say Africa say Africa say Africa[00:04:41]
Say Africa say Africa[00:04:48]
