I say I'm in love with the mama land
'Cause I'm sure that's where I come from
And when I say Africa
All black people must-a get themselves together
So, nuff, nuff, whole heap-a, whole heap-a
Nuff, nuff, whole heap-a, whole heap-a
Whole heap-a, whole heap-a things to say
About the A and the F and the R
And the I and the C with a capital A
Yes we got nuff, nuff, whole heap-a, whole heap-a
Nuff, nuff, whole heap-a, whole heap-a
Whole heap-a, whole heap-a things to say
About the A and the F and the R
And the I and the C with a capital A
I can remember when we in a the mama land
Living like kings and queens with gold and diamond
Here comes some unscrupulous European
Through we humbleness they capture nuff thousand
Then them set a sail pon the big ocean
Carry us beyond that is them destination
Change we name, we language, give we new religion
Work we out plenty pon them plantation
But I demand reparation
Inevitable for repatriation
That is the right of every nation
Organize and centralize, that's the original plan
So, nuff, nuff, whole heap-a, whole heap-a
Nuff, nuff, whole heap-a, whole heap-a
Whole heap-a, whole heap-a things to say
About the A and the F and the R
And the I and the C with a capital A
We have to look to Africa without any delay
And stop all dreams of the U.S. of A
Cah we can't afford to let them lead us astray
It's over 400 years them carry us away
So why should we sit down here as if we no care?
Imprison ourself in this western hemisphere
When the mama land have so much future over there
It's like we make strangers taking our share
So, nuff, nuff, whole heap-a, whole heap-a
Nuff, nuff, whole heap-a, whole heap-a
Whole heap-a, whole heap-a things to say
About the A and the F and the R
And the I and the C with a capital A
Imagine we who are some of Jah first product
Them a say we was discovered by Columbus
Remember that when Columbus came
At the same time we release them boy deh a Spain
'Member America have 52 states
And Africa 52 countries, isn't that great?
The great river Nile is what Jah create
And the Ark of the Covenant inna some sacred place
So if-a you no know where you from, you can have nowhere to go
Then you'll forever find yourself down below
I am committed and I will never cease
Until all black people start look to the East
Nuff, nuff, whole heap-a, whole heap-a
Nuff, nuff, whole heap-a, whole heap-a
Whole heap-a, whole heap-a things to say
About the A and the F and the R
And the I and the C with a capital A
Sometimes when me see how black people a live
As if them forget the great things they did
Or they are afraid to start acknowledge
That them conquer med'ism and sand built pyramid
Nuff, nuff, whole heap-a, whole heap-a
Nuff, nuff, whole heap-a, whole heap-a
Whole heap-a, whole heap-a things to say
About the A and the F and the R
And the I and the C with a capital A
