[Chorus] I'm not gonna give it up I'm not goin' I'm not gonna give it up I'm not goin' I will be fighting I've got to be fighting I will be fighting 'Til africa, and africans are free
I said that I been up there and I've seen poverty beyond compare I know slave drivers just don't care They just don't care
[Chorus]
Africa's the richest place But it has the poorest race And to me it's just a disgrace Just a disgrace Africans don't wait too long We gotta fight 'cause it's not wrong Won't you join in and sing this song Sing this song
[Chorus] To be poor it's a hurtful pain Livin in a poverty it's a burning shame Help yourself 'cause man you're not lame You are not lame
