Charles Onyeabor - The Future of Africa Lyrics

I see a land that's green
Full of prosperity
I see a land of peace
Everybody lives in unity

Somewhere in Africa
It's Rising out of Africa
It's the pride of Africa
That's the future of Africa

Led by visionary People
Thriving in productivity
No import, only exporting
Making a mess out of Benjamins

No jagbajantis
They solve their problems like mathematics
Graduates get job, na automatic
And the po-po na friendly partners
Yeah

And see, dreams cannot die down there
Everywhere dey bubble pass Times Square
Test and see that your eyes go clear
Cause justice is served hot, hot

Somewhere in Africa
It's Rising out of Africa
It's the pride of Africa
That's the future of Africa

I no see nowhere jagajaga
I no see nowhere scatter scatter
Everywhere be like the slogan of Adamawa in Nigeria
Land of Beauty
Yeah

And they sing lovely melodies
Basking in diversity
Poverty is history
It's gone
It's no more
Oh yeah

That's the future I'm picturing
That's the future I long to see
That's the future of my dream
For sure
It will come

I see a land that's green
Full of prosperity
I see a land of peace
Everybody lives in unity

Somewhere in Africa
It's Rising out of Africa
It's the pride of Africa
That's the future of Africa
