[Intro]
We are the slave descendants from the African race
The African race, the African race
We are the slave descendants from the African race
Where proud is no disgrace
[Verse 1]
Our forefathers were taken away, taken away, taken away
Yeah, they were bound in ships and shackled all the way
Like baggage and brought to the west
They swapped my brother now, also my sister too
For a drink of wine, so they could drink and be merry
So they could drink and be merry
[Interlude]
[Verse 2]
I speak Amharic, my sister speaks Swahili
They put us all together now, that's why we can't understand
That's why we can't understand
[Outro]
We are the slave descendants from the African race
The African race, the African race
We are the slave descendants from the African race
Where proud is no disgrace
We're proud of the African race
Where proud is no disgrace
We're proud of our African race
Where proud is no disgrace
