Lyrics
Intro (Spoken / Call)
Eh eh eh…
Africaaaa…
From the soil to the sky…
Makossa time!
Verse 1
Sun rise over red earth ground
Drums talk, ancestors sound
From the Nile to Mount Cameroon
One heart beat, one boom-boom
Gold in the smile of the people
Fire in the feet when we move slow-fast
History deep like ocean blue
Still we stand, strong and true
Pre-Chorus
Hear the village, hear the town
Every language, one sound
When the bass line touch your soul
Africa take control
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
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

Eh! Feel the bass now
Slow-slow, fast-fast

We rise together, forever
