so i wasted my time
this is Africa, things dont work the way they should
we are africans we must make things work the way we want it

who am i fooling
who am i fooling
we dont even believe in our worth

the joy of not sleeping but thinking things through
the excitement only you can explain
the happiness in finding solutions

friends from afar, friends around
keeps multiplying as days pass
yes i have seen it
yes it comes natural

from the streets of accra through to bamako
they sweat, they chase, they run
the sun taketh their rope
the leaders destroys their hope

straining my eyes through the sahara silt
the friends silvers their spoon with lies
who are we fooling

how do we allow complaints and insults to buy our true worth
