African Revolution by Tiken Jah Fakoly Lyrics
We want revolution
Young people revolution
Intelligent revolution
Must be African education
We want revolution
Young people revolution
Intelligent revolution
Must be black people education
Go to school brother
And learn what they are doing
It will open up your eyes
To the people's situation
Go to school my brother
I said go to school
You will understand very soon
All problems of your nation
We want revolution
Young people revolution
Intelligent revolution
Must be African education
In your mind brother
There is the power to change your world
This understanding
Will help to make a better place
And in your hands brother
There is the key to this continent
And if you don't unlock it soon
It will be lost to the government
African revolution must be black people redemption
Young people revolution
Intelligent revolution
Must be African education
We want revolution
Young people revolution
Intelligent revolution
Must be black people education
Go to school brother
And learn what they are doing
It will open up your eyes
To the people's situation
Go to school my brother
I said go to school
You will understand very soon
All problems of your nation
We want revolution
Young people revolution
Intelligent revolution
Must be African education
In your mind brother
There is the power to change your world
This understanding
Will help to make a better place
And in your hands brother
There is the key to this continent
And if you don't unlock it soon
It will be lost to the government
African revolution must be black people redemption
