Antidote

Yeah eh
Yeah eh
Yeah
As an African, my job is hard to find
Africans are accused of dealing in gold
White women are giving us their money
I dream of genes that will protect us from their diseases
Africans are tired, they are suffering
Africans are under curfew and cannot move
Africans, where can I find land to settle?
Why are Africans blessed with diamonds and gold?
Africans, let's love ourselves
Love ourselves, cherish ourselves
Africans, let's stop ourselves
From falling into the trap that seeks to destroy us
Yeah
February, break it down
Hun
February is mine, lol
Yeah
It's mine, like a purse
Hey, poor people, your struggles are understandable

Professor, tell me about politics, let's take notes
Mr. Geologist, who owns the gas and oil?
Since the time of Scholcher, we've been struggling with Babylon
Teranga has become a jungle, Gaindé has become the Antelope's home
Professor, tell me about politics, let's take notes
Mr. Geologist, who owns the gas and oil?
Sooner or later, the world will find its antidote to death
The youth of Diogue, let's rise up and find our own antidote

It's mine, like a bag, let it chill
It's worse, like my mole
It's mine, like a big bag, let it chill
It's worse, like my big mole

Africans, stop rejoicing over victories you haven't won
We have nothing, they just sign and take everything
Africans, stop fetching water from the well for your mother
Africans, stop fetching water from the well for your mother

It's mine, like a bag, let it chill
It's worse, like my mole
It's mine, like a big bag, let it chill
It's worse, like my big mole

Africans, stop rejoicing over victories you haven't won
We have nothing, they just sign and take everything
Africans, stop fetching water from the well for your mother
Africans, stop fetching water from the well for your mother
Yeaaahh
Yeah yeah
Yeaaahh
Yeah yeah

Believe in our country
We know what's good for us
Our ancestors knew what was good for our country
Hey, you know who I'm talking about
You know
You know who I'm talking about
Our Mame Kocc Barma is here
We are united, don't be afraid of the lion
He told me to go and gather the youth
Don't worry
I will not disappoint him
