Controlled by no Yankee dollar
Oh Africa and still I call you mama
Wid love as my tool
Still I and I must prosper
Oh Africa and still I call you mama
From one of your sons abroad
How I wish I could be
Back on Bassa corner
Mama mama mama

I keep wishing I could capture
Love in a bottle and blow it all around
I keep wishing I could capture
Justice in America
And fling it all around
Sling ding dang whey ee
Justice dun sell out to the
Highest trigger finger awhoa

Sling ding dang whey ee
When will you them a call nigger
Stop pull trigger an one another
Mama mama

Them bourgeoisie black man
Them a sit down pan the truth
And by your silence you agree
You think say that the dollar is the sample
And the example of Jah
You feel you rule with superiority
Sp ling ding dang whey ee

Highest trigger finger a whoa
Sling ding dang whey ee
When will you them a call nigger
Stop pull trigger pan one another

Mama don't cry daddy gone a penitentiary hey
I man will find a way
We know we know say
That tings narn go easy
So when I man flash it ina foreign
Wid hour four string guitar
And hour empty belly
Man is through ganja hustling
Man put roof and bed under mommy
When we did run it
pan the loco line full time
Although we musically inclined I find
I keep seeing hard time
Will neva respect nobody
I was going under een
I man start over seen
One more chance
One more try
Chu I'm not ready
for the sweet by and by
I man start ova
Glad to be alive
Mama mama mama

Controlled by no Yankee dollar
Oh Africa and still I call you mama
May prosperity rule hey hey

Africa I belong I belong I belong
