Kwesi Jiggs & Ashes - United States of Africa (Intro) Lyrics

This mid 20th century is Africa's
This decade is the decade of African independence
Forward then to independence
To independence now
Tomorrow the United States of Africa
Yeah
Africa stand up!
You know what it is?

All you fellas doing making noise, it's all shit to me

You rappers slipping off the road, you riding on bananas
