Wake up your mind
Wake up, wake up

Wake up, wake up
Wake up your mind
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
Brother Africans
Wake up your minds
Sister Africans
Wake up your souls
So fellow Africans
Wake up your minds
My brother Africans
Wake up your soul
It is the only way
To find out what we have to do
It is the only way
To get back everything we've lost
'Cos we have gold, we have silver
We have oil, so we've got everything
We have to opеn our eyes
To see wherе we are going
We should open up our minds
So we can get back our land
We don't have to wait for no-one
To tell us what we gonna do
We don't have to beg nobody
To stop the wars in Africa
We don't have to wait for no-one
To tell us what we gonna do
We don't have to beg nobody
To stop the wars in Africa
It's about time, yeah
To wake up our minds
It's about time, yeah
So wake up brothers
It's about time, yeah
So wake up Africans
Wake up, wake up
Wake up your minds
[x4]
[Verse]
What are we looking at Africans?
Said what are we looking at, people?
We should make them respect our land
It is time to protect our culture
We should let them respect our leaders
It is time to project our way of life
Wake up, wake up your mind
Wake up, wake up your minds
Wake up, wake up your mind
Whoa yeah, wake up, wake up brothers
Wake up, wake up your mind
The African in America
The black man in Australia
The African in Jamaica
It's time to wake up and protect our land
You love to preach Judaism
I love to preach Mohammedanism
We even preach Christianity
But why can't we preach Africanism?
Why can't we preach our way of life?
So wake up, wake up brothers
Wake up, wake up sisters
Wake up, wake up, wake up brothers
Wake up, wake up, wake up sisters
Wake up, wake up, wake up Africans
Wake up, wake up, everybody wake up
Wake up
