[Bbm]
[Ab] [Bbm] Morning to you man, morning to you love
[Fm] [Cm] I [Bbm]
[F] [Bb]
say, [Db] I [Fm] say Africa [Bbm] must wake up
The sleeping sons of Jacob for what tomorrow may bring
May a better [Fm] day come, this the day [Bbm] we work in use
Can you tell me young ones who are we today?
Yeah [Fm] now, well Africa [Bbm] must wake up
The sleeping sons of Jacob for what tomorrow may bring
May a better [Fm] day come, this the day [Bbm] we work in use
Can you tell me young ones who are we today?
Yeah [Fm] now
The black oasis, [Bbm] ancient, Africa the sacred, awaken
The sleeping giant, science, art [Fm] is your creation
A trip that we [Bbm] could visit, oh Kimmy
Your history is too complex and rigid
For some western [Fm] critics, they want the whole [Bbm] subject diminished
But Africa's the origin of all the world's religions
We [Fm] praise bridges that carry us [Bbm] over
The battle fronts of Sudanic soldiers, the task put before us
You hear [Fm] me now, Africa [Bbm] must wake up
The sleeping sons of Jacob for what tomorrow may bring
May [Fm] a better day come, this the day [Bbm] we work in use
Can you tell me young ones who are we today?
Yeah [Fm] now, well Africa [Bbm] must wake up
The sleeping sons of Jacob for what tomorrow may bring
May a better [Ab] day come, this the day we [Bbm] work in use
Can you tell me young ones who are we today?
Who are we [Fm] today?
The slums, diseases, [Bbm] AIDS
We need that all to fade
We cannot be afraid
So who are we [Fm] today?
We are the morning [Bbm] after
The makeshift youth, the slave ship captured
Our diaspora is the final [Fm] chapter
The ancestral [Bbm] lineage built pyramids
America's first immigrant
The king's son and daughters from now [Fm] waters
The first [Bbm] architect, the first philosophers, astronomers
The first prophets and the doctors was us
[Fm] Now can we all [Bbm] pray, each in his own way
Teaching and learning, we can work [Fm] it out
Love a warm [Bbm] bed, love some warm bread
Shelter from the storm dread, we can work [Ab] it out
Mother nature [Bbm] feeds all, in farming and drought
Tell those selfish in ways not to share [Fm] us out
What's a tree [Bbm] without root?
Lion without tooth?
A lie without truth?
You hear [Fm] me out
Africa must [Bbm] wake up, the sleeping sons of Jacob
For what tomorrow may bring
May a better [Fm] day come, this the day [Bbm] we work in use
Can you tell me young ones who are we today?
Yeah [Fm] Lord
Africa [Bbm] must wake up, the sleeping sons of Jacob
For what tomorrow may bring
May some more [Bb] love [Ab] come, this the day we [Bbm] work in use
I tell you young blood, this world is yours today
[Fm] [Bbm]
[Fm] [Bbm]
[Fm] [Bbm]

[Fm] We [Bbm]

[F]
[Db] [Cm]
want to thank y'all, everybody [Bb] out there
[Cm] This is Nas, Damian, Molly, distant relatives
[Db] [Cm] We're all distant relatives, no matter where you from, where you live
How near, how far
Africa, [Db] China, [Cm] Japan, Afghanistan, Israel
We're all fam, [Eb] we're all distant [Db] relatives
[Cm] So that's why we came together
One of the reasons myself and [Db] Damian came together
[Cm] Cause we all come from one place and that's Africa
That's right, you [Db] too, [Cm] and you, the whole world
We're all family, just spread out [Db] all over the place
[Cm] So to all my distant relatives, let's take it back home
I [Fm] say, well, Africa must [Bbm] wake up, the sleeping sons of Jacob
For what tomorrow may bring, may a better [F] day come
[Fm] This the day we [Bbm] work in use, can you tell me young ones, who are we today?
Yeah, [Fm] nah
Well, Africa must [Bbm] wake up, the sleeping sons of Jacob
For what tomorrow may bring, may a better [Fm] day come
This the day we [Bbm] work in use, can you tell me young ones
Who are we today?
[Fm] [Bbm] Money to you, money to your man,
[Fm] money to [Bbm] your nose.
