Lyrics
Chorus (Makossa Groove)
Mama Africa, malembe malembe
We dance our pain, we dance our splendor
Mama Africa, malembe malembe
Hands in the air, make we surrender
Makossa flow, feel the power
Africa shine every day, every hour
Post-Chorus
Eh eh eh
Africaaaa
Makossa time
Verse 2
Brazzaville to Douala night
Sweat and joy under city light
Market laugh, children play
Hope no sleep, it find a way
Kora cry, guitar reply
Makossa groove make spirits fly
No chain strong pass our dream
We be more than what they see
Pre-Chorus
From the past we take our name
From tomorrow we light the flame
Unity in every role
Africa take control
Chorus
Mama Africa, malembe malembe
We dance our pain, we dance our splendor
Mama Africa, malembe malembe
Hands in the air, make we surrender
Makossa flow, feel the power
Africa shine every day, every hour
Post-Chorus
Eh eh eh
Africaaaa
Makossa time
Bridge (Call & Response)
Who be the mother — Africa
