 INTRO
Don't  care where  you come from
 As long as you're a black man
 You're an African
 (CHORUS)
No  mind your nationality
 You have got the identity of an African
'Cause  if you come  from Clarendon
 And if you come from Portland
 And if you come from Westmoreland
 You're an African
No  mind your nationality
 You've got the identity of an African
'Cause  if you come  Trinidad
 And if you come from Nassau
 And if you come from Cuba
 You're an African
No  mind your complexion
 There is no rejection
 You're an African
'Cause  if your plexion
 High(3x)
 If your complexion low, low, low
 And if your plexion in between
 You're an African
No  mind denomination
 That is only segregation
 You're an African
'Cause  if you go  to the Catholic
 And if you go to the Methodist
 And if you go to the Church of Gods
 You're an African
No  mind your nationality
 You have got the identity of an African
'Cause  if you come  from Brixton
 And if you come from Weesday
 And if you come from Wingstead
 And if you come from France
 ...Brooklyn
 ...Queens
 ...Manhattan
 ...Miami
 ...Switzerland
 ...Germany
 ...Russia
 ...Taiwan
 here"
