Crazy

My African, so-called independence was a trick
Oh yeah, a trick
It was a trick

Because all of our independence was just talk
Independence was just filling our ears with lies
And we still need to obey those white folks
And all of this
Makes me crazy

My African, so-called independence was a trick
Oh yeah, a trick
It was a trick

Because all of our independence was just talk
Independence was just filling our ears with lies
And our children still have to go to their schools
And learn how to speak like those white folks
And all of this
Makes me crazy

My African, so-called independence was a trick
Oh yeah, a trick
It was a trick

We need our own Presidents
Instead of taking orders from your white man
Those guys stole everything from us
So we need our own Presidents
You hear me?

My African, so-called independence was a trick
Oh yeah, a trick
It was a trick
