Mama Africa
Mama Africa
You bestowed your blessings
On your few sons and daughters
To lead all their other siblings
Love and care for their needs
Now they are becoming royals
They don’t want any questions
No brain is brilliant as theirs
They abduct and kill your offsprings
While looting the coffers
They drive in long motorcades
None of us is worth the roads
Whenever they move, we are worthless
They don’t remember about our taxes
Bought the cars and built the roads
Buys the fuel and feed their families
We are nothing in their eyes
Until the day they want our votes
They’ll be obedient, give us t shirts
Little sugar, salt and sell us hopes
In our ignorance we believe their lies
Thinking at last we’ll see the changes
Or at least heed our voices
We vote them in holding their promises
Promises forgotten as soon they winners
We pray to God remind them about us
Leave it to him to save us
His sons and daughters, abandoned us
And we’ll repeat the same mistakes
Our heads are nothing but decorations.
