You keep pushing the blame on our colonial fathers You say they came and they took all we had possessed They have to take the abuse that they have caused Our present state with their intruding history Use our goodness and nourishment in the name of missionary Lied to us, blinded slaved us, misplaced us Strengthen us, hardened us then they replaced us Now we got to learn from pain Now it is up to us to gain some recognition If we stop blaming we could get a better condition Wake up, world Wake up, world, wake up and stop sleeping Wake up Africa, wake up and stop blaming Open your eyes, eyes, stand up and rise Road block, oh, life penalty Why do we want to remain where we started? And how long do we want to stop yourselves from thinking? We should learn from experience That what we are here for this existence But now we decide to use the same hatred to suppress our own brothers It is so comfortable to say Racism is the cause and it's not the cause But this time it is the same color chasing and biting us Knowledge and selfishness that they gave to us This is what we use to abuse us Wake up world, wake up and stop sleeping Wake up Africa, wake up and stop blaming Open your eyes, your eyes, stand up and rise Road block, oh, life penalty Those who have ears let them hear Brothers who are not brainwashed take ruins and rest Pick them up and stick them back together This is the only way we can change this African weather Lied to us, blinded us, they slaved us, misplaced us Strengthen us, hardened us then they replaced us Now we got to learn from pain Wake up world, wake up and stop sleeping Wake up Africa, wake up and stop blaming Open your eyes, your eyes, stand up and rise Road block, road block You got to wake up please You got to, you got to see the truth Open yours eyes, open up, you should open up You should open up, stand up and rise Road block, road block, oh, life penalty, wake up
