Sugar Minott — Africa Is The Black Man's Home lyrics

Lyrics

Free the African people
Free the African continent
Free the African people
Free the African continent
Africa. is the black man’s home
Africa. where we come from
We were captured, oh were captured
And put on ships, oh yes
And we suffered, oh Lord, we suffered
The slashes of the whip, oh yes
I wanna know, I wanna know
When we’re going back home
We got to go to Africa, yeah
Africa. is the black man’s home
Africa. where we come from
All the pains, all the pains
That black man had to bear
(Sufferation) oh yeah (tribulation)
How they suffered, oh Lord they suffer
Right through these years, up to now
I wanna know, I wanna know
When we’re going back home, oh yes
Oh, Africa. which is the black man’s home, yes
Africa. oh Lord, where we come from
This why I say
All the pains, all the pains
That black man had to bear
(Sufferation) had to bear (tribulation)
How they suffered, how they suffered
Right through these years, oh yeah
I wanna know (I want to tell you) I wanna know
When we’re going, we’re going back home
Mm, Lord, yeah — oh yes
To Africa. where we come from
Got to go there, got to go there
