All about the cries of Africa (n)
I am within the likeness of Rastafari embracing words of fullness to all
Hail! this is Natural Bless, I am on a mission, Rasta mission, Jah mission
Man kind being this is a mission, it means its no compition, so weak hearts Please satta
Story behind the song
Its just another chapter in the in the book of Africa and her children, her high and lows, in and out yu know.
I am a nationalist, a humanitarian, son of the soil, so it comes Natural
Lyrics
Africa cries, Africa cries, Africa cries
With no one to wipe her eyes
Africa cries, Africa cries, Africa cries
O’ me O’ my
(2 times)
I have seen her cry tears after tears, which seem to be in vain
Evidently! No one cares.
She has been robed and raped, used and abused, molested and then rejected
It would seems to me the powers that be wants not to see Mama Africa free
So now they penalize her, they victimize her , they vandalize her
Having the galls to criticize her
An so mi asked why, an so mi ask why, an so I ask why
trying I best to wipe the tears from her eyes
She is the life source of the entire world
From her cup flows the Great River Nile
Bringing civilization to them and those
She gave birth to the rising of the sun
Siting under her great African sky, she is able to smooth any man’s soul
She is the dawning of man, why can’t we all sing her songs
Can a man be born only to kill his own mother?
This I n’ I asked, as I n’ I continues to sing her songs
Seeing her anguish and pain it bothers my very brain
So now I watch her children play, being as happy as a lark, not knowing what’s in the dark. The reality of life in the eyes of Mom and Dad
Mom smiles while in her heart she is really sad
Basic essentials are sky-high, it seem more than a life time since she last made a pumpkin pie.
Dad feels less than the average man, still fighting such a fierce battle in the Armageddon. With his wife and kids he struggles along.
Keeping his mind and thoughts on the songs of his mother land
