Look my friend time goes on and goes fast realize
While you sleep the world goes on everything changes
Look my friend pick up your goals and use your tools to survive
Open your mind
Be ready to face the change
Open your mind
Be ready to face the change
To the best or worst
But it really changes

Africa running on the future
Africa runs towards the future
Africa the brilliant future is coming

We must be free from the mental slavery
We must be free from the government slavery
Because I wanna feel like true Africans
And live our roots forever

Oh my friend pick up your books and go to school to survive
Open your minds be ready to face the changes
Oh my friend nothing you have nothing is yours
Even what you think you are doing somebody else before you

In the biggest revolution there’s a big plan to do
Turn back the roots
In the biggest revolution there’s a big plan to do
Turn back the roots
To the best or worst
It’s really changing

Africa running on the future
Africa runs towards the future
Africa Africa Africa
Running on the future Africa
The future nearer Africa
The future is tomorrow Africa
Africa running on the future
Africa the brilliant future is coming
