[Verse 2: Davido]
I'm so happy to be apart of this continent
Cal your sister and your brothers and your friends
Let's get together, let's hold hands and let us dance
Let's unite and give ourselves another chance
As you dey waka for road
You go see many things, everything dey up
People dey jolly, oya dance!
(Let Africans be great)
And in the sun or the rain
Or the sweet or the pain, we still dey here together
Because (let Africans be great)
Oh! Nelson Mandela, Lupita Nyong'o
Ooh Desmond Tutu
(Let Africans be great)
Oh! Barack Obama, Kwame Nkrumah
All my freedom fighters
(Let Africans be great)
[Verse 3: Sarkodie]
Heeh!
You know what time it is
Let's go, c'mon!
Africa stand up!
Everybody move, make I dey see your hands up
We came a long way, so now we can't stop
Free for life, we're taking off the handcuffs
We came to spread love
Through the sea breeze
Natural, mama Africa we need peace
Home sweet home, everybody feel free
Check my people and check the beauty
Doing my duty
We're trying to make it a better place for us
And I believe it's gonna happen, in God we trust
Straight from the bottom, all the way up to top
I prophesy it shall come to pass
AMEN!
From dust to grass, from grass to grace
But it's left to us to make it happen on a daily basis
Back to back
Africa stands for peace, let's face the fact

[Chorus: Tiwa Savage]
I love my Africa nana
(Rise up! Oh Africa rise up)
I love my Africa nana
(Rise up! My mother Africa rise up)
We are one Africa nana
(Together lifting Africa, rise up!)
I love my Africa nana
(Rise up! Beautiful Africa rise up)

Peace is our strength
Division is our weakness
If we come closer, nothing will defeat us
