Africa


Africa America
I voiced out my concerns,
and I was jailed.
The same way they jailed Nkrumah, Nelson and others.
Malcom and Martin died for the same cause.
I still remember the brave Yoruba men,
snatched from their farms in Africa to the plantations in the Americas.
Their soul inspired my music.
Stop oppressing my people
Stop oppressing Africa Cause we just started out.

Translated from Serere to English by Amadou Talla
