Lyrics and translation
Original
From the north to the south, the east to the west.
Whoa. The great continent, Alkebulan.
Oh yes, oh yes. UY.
I'm an African, an African soldier.
If you never know, you better know now.
I'm an African, an African soldier.
Say boy better know how we run bow ya.
Fully govern, me stay fully govern. Step on the scene, man, humble lion.
Holy Zion, me say holy Zion. Me solid as a rock and me strong like a lion.
Like a fire burning and that is Jah Jah sign. We coming, yo, this greatness can't decline.
Flowing, this river cannot dry. Oh Mama Africa, we tell them this is our time. I'm an
African, an African soldier.
If you never know, you better know now. I'm an
African, an African soldier.
Say boy better know how we run bow ya. All right then. From Cape to
Cairo, Sahel to Gabon. Nigeria to Ghana to Sierra Leone.
Africa's world belongs to all African. There is a fight against evil and corruption.
My ancestors bled for generation. The childrens cry for liberation.
We left it to our leaders but they all compromised. Until we saw a young man who opened our eyes.
Africa. I'm an African, an African soldier. Oh yes.
If you never know, you better know now. I'm an
African, an African soldier.
Say boy better know how we run bow ya.
Jas Wyld, watch the world when Jas come.
I'm an African.
