Kwame Nkrumah said I'm not African because I was born in Africa But because Africa was born in me The road winds and at times it can humble you We all climb inclines, gotta struggle through My soul finds quietude even when trouble brews Though I may be battered and bruised, Im still a part of you The mother who saw her seeds scattered till they'd forgotten you With loving you'd imbued them with a beauty of the darkest hue See how this world won't acknowledge what they got from you Plotting you on maps they understating your magnitude Deny your majesty go to lengths just to smother truth Discard the proof of civilisations where learned monarchs ruled Passed on the heritage to all of those who come from you The strength to withstand and shatter every manacle Had them kissed by the sun so they can touch it if they wanted to Made of your magic so breaking them is impossible And through this song, guess the only thing Im trying to do Is just to honour you, and to shower you with gratitude Rielu, muene uala henda ni ndabji Ua ngi bana babáh Ua ngi bana babáh Rielu, muene uala ni ndabji Ua ngi bana babáh The language I speak is hiphop its the originator is Herc But you can find traces of its DNA within her Graffiti on caves, griots had a way with their words There were block parties to celebrate what came from the earth Where they beat drums and swayed, spit praises and twerked Before the boats came carrying those who came to disturb Interrupted her history tried erasing their worth But she so resilient, it ain't no way it could work Kidnapped the people, stole the minerals Killed the noble leaders, leaving rogues and criminals Looted temples and libraries, robbed the citadels The fact she still alive is nothing short of a miracle Her relics overflow in foreign museums But when you read about her story all the glory is missing Siphon her riches, equate her with strife and disease I guess they love the fruits while despising the tree Rielu, muene uala henda ni ndabji Ua ngi bana babáh Ua ngi bana babáh Rielu, muene uala ni ndabji Ua ngi bana babáh Nga sakidila Muene ji va Maji ka ji ria Muene ji va Ka ji ria Ka ji ria She is the hunger in my spirit, the fire in my soul The power that I yield, the truth that I uphold The poetry that lifts me, the drums that signal war The love that keeps me warm in a world thats winter cold The laughter of the children, the wisdom of the old The sun that dries my tears, the vision that I hold The strength to be a pillar, the will to reach the goal The individual indivisible from the whole Kutenda, nga sakidila Kutenda, nga sakidila Kutenda, nga sakidila Nga sakidila Kutenda, nga sakidila Kutenda, nga sakidila Kutenda, nga sakidila Kutenda
