I look my front, I see my people, they cry
I look my back, I see them they cry
On my left, on my right, I see them they cry
All around me, I see them they cry

So I ask them why then they cry?
When I ask them why then they cry
Then tell me, then tell me, then tell me
I hear them tell me why I ask them

If council elections can bring corruption
If kill the Dneiper can spoil Nigeria
I hear them tell me why I ask them
'Cause they cry, oh, aha, aho, huh, huh

Men like this can spread them
All over Africa
To rid this filthy water for all
Their colonial masters

These sufferers of worry and woe
No repo then to see thee
The damage them then do their lives now
Of their brothers and sisters

Now, the small mud the house over season
Then kill their fathers and brothers
Then don't sell their lives away
To their colonial masters

These lovers are boiling low
Don't spoil Africa
They're must be no rightful nation
Ask the traitors of Africa

Traitors of Africa, traitors of Africa
Traitors of Africa, traitors of Africa
Traitors of Africa, traitors of Africa
