When I look at my people
Surprise sey dem no won be Africans no more
African no won claim African eh
Dem no one claim African eh
Stand up for your race
No matter where you go
You will always be second place
African nide
Nide nide
Nide nide
I am conscious
Cause I'm proud to be black
And I like it like that
I am conscious
Cause I'm proud to be black
And I like it like that
I am conscious
Cause I'm proud to be black
And I like it like that
It so much a terrible case
When race changes to aids
When you’re rejected by your brothers
And your friends became fake
For the worse is unstoppable
The mind gets into a terrible state
Now that a point when a man frustrates
Suffering in history
Raised in the farm and lived undercover
With no brother living in misery
Its torn jeans tight T-shirts
Fake life boots are not forgotten
An African with no roots
I love you brother you are black and so am I
That’s why when you hurt me
I can force but ask you why
I wanna take you places never been before
To my African villages
I will make you ask for more
I'm making you know colour does you no wrong
Remember when we used to gather
Sing the African song
Black is gold so I know that ill never grow old
But you you got no spirit cause your soul is the sole
When I look at my people
Surprise sey dem no won be Africans no more
African no won claim African eh
Dem no one claim African eh
Stand up for your race
No matter where you go
You will always be second place
African nide
Nide nide
Nide nide
I am conscious
Cause I'm proud to be black
And I like it like that
I am conscious
Cause I'm proud to be black
And I like it like that
I am conscious
Cause I'm proud to be black
And I like it like that
You can't be proud of where you ain't from
And what you ain't got
And even then slit your skin
N**a you’re still black
Represent where you are from like
And for my niggas out there
Come on please get back
So my mic stay close like my life depends on it
And my mouth on paper I put my pen on it
Step on it most of you niggas be acting ridiculous
And when the rap man says rap
Shitters be rapping
And thank you for backing
Thank you for sacking us
They say we are black and dumb
So we act like one
And even when we gone so far
They said nothing return
Why can’t we leave for ourselves
Get this shit off our shelf
They can't see what we see
We like sea food plus
Them niggas too short
They can't visualize in this spot
See we black and we proud
And we ain't gon stop
And if we stay strong together
We gon get to the top
When I look at my people
Surprise sey dem no won be Africans no more
African no won claim African eh
Dem no one claim African eh
Stand up for your race
No matter where you go
You will always be second place
African nide
Nide nide
Nide nide
I am conscious
Cause I'm proud to be black
And I like it like that
I am conscious
Cause I'm proud to be black
And I like it like that
I am conscious
Cause I'm proud to be black
And I like it like that (Nifowo titi lele baba le)
Oni omo ali
Nifowo siju ele baba le
Nione fowo siju ele baba temi
