Lyrics Buy Africa - Fela Kuti

Se tiwa nio mio fe
Se tiwa nio mio ra
Se tiwa nio mio se
Se tiwa nio mio fa mio
Se tiwa nio mio se

Tani ma ba wa je
Tani ma ba wa se
Kila se ma lowo l'Africa
Kila se ma lowo l'Africa
Afi ti aba ra ti wa o e
Afi ti aba se ti wa o
Afi ti aba ra ti wa o e
Afi ti aba se ti wa o

Se tiwa nio mio fe
Se tiwa nio mio ra
Se tiwa nio mio se
Tani ma ba wa je

Se tiwa nio mio fe
Se tiwa nio mio ra

Na so
Na so African man dey talk
Him go see e own thing wey e dey make for him own country
E thing thing wey e dey do for him own country
Him go say him no want am, e no good
The one wey come from the other country
Outside Africa na e good for he own

He be fool! Big fool!
Because unless we buy our own thing
Unless we do our own thing
We no go make money
To be like the other countries outside Africa
That is why we have to do our own thing
Patronise our own thing, so we can be rich like other countries outside Africa
Now because African man say him no go do e own thing
Him no go buy e own thing
I ask him a question in my own language
I ask him a question in my mother tongue, I go like this
I say
Na na na na eh
Tani ma ba wa je
Tani ma ba wa je
Kila se ma lowo l'Africa
Kila se ma lowo l'Africa

Afi ta ba ra tiwa o
Afi ta ba se tiwa o
