Lyrics [Verse 1: Stephen Marley] Educate yourselves, of Africa To liberate yourself, Africa Keep your heads up high No more will we cry Eeeeyh Our history that they stole, Africa Is written in our souls, Africa Oldest nation on this earth Know just what you worth Well well Ships that sail to distant places Robbed us of our rights and worth History says that you've betrayed us Talking of the Gods you serve Hear the rambling in the sky Tears that our forefathers cry And today we're still in chains Take the shackle from our minds You're the cornerstone The king upon the throne How beautiful are thou, Africa All nation have to bow, Africa Don't you fall from grace You're that secret place Aye! Aye-ah-aye! [Verse 2: Wale] Power to the people, Motherland representa I'm on trial with the man she my co-defendant And I demand her attention, can you focus women? I'm getting closer to the sky errytime I hit it Haile Selassie I, "Power of the Trinity" Soul mad
