Intro: JJC: Big Boyz Yeah What is wrong with these African boys? Trouble maker don’t come Mo: Is it though? JJC: It’s true now You are not really Jamaican or Bajan. I don’t even know why some people call themselves African-American. It’s either you are one or the other. Mo: I know, I know I’m from London JJC: Stop forming You are not English Even if you are from the Dominican Republic somebody brought you there. As long as you got black in your skin Say it loud Say it proud You are African
Chorus: We are Africans, Louder We are Africans, Louder We are Africans, Come on Africans, Awooo!! We are Africans, I can’t hear you We are Africans, Louder We are Africans, Come on Africans, Awooo!!
JJC: This one is for anyone with a lot of melanin Black people got the animal adrenalin And we move with the speed of a javelin Awooo!! We’re the ones that gets the people bubbling The heart beats like an African drum (Awooo!!) We’ve got rhythm from when we’re born (Awooo!!) It’s not where you are It’s about where you’re from Stop acting dumb When you gonna learn (Awooo!!) If you look back in history You will find many, many just like me Sold for money through slavery Taken to a place in the Caribbean Sea The game is to conquer, divide and rule And make us feel black ain’t beautiful We read the books We know the truth Anybody black comes from the same roots
Repeat Chorus
J-Rock: Yeah I was born in the United States (Awooo!!) Proud to be black with my African face (Awooo!!) Mixed raced, I got African traits You can see that I’m African when I step up in the place (Awooo!!) It’s like we’re all on the same side (Awooo!!) It’s like we’re all from the same tribe Obama winning had us all feeling with the same pride (Africans Awooo!!)
Randy: I was born in Jamaica with African roots From the same tree, African fruits All around the world my African youths Come make we round up the African troops. (Awooo!!) All is one Doesn’t really matter where we all are from I’ve got a dream You can call it dumb But I wanna hear you singing this with all your lungs
Repeat Chorus
JJC: Ooh you haven’t heard the news So here’s a couple of clues The blacker the berry the sweeter the juice Black skin is hard to refuse Once you go black you can never go back Everyone out there just feels whack They can’t compare to the things that we pack Awooo!! Yeah, we are the kings of the sack Plus if you mix milk with some coco-pops You get caramel with afro-puffs So be proud of what you got ‘Cause everybody wanna be us That’s why they chill in the sun-bed If they go in the sun they go turn red But we are made for the sun From the day we are born Get blacker, blacker, blacker but we don’t get burned, ‘cause
Repeat Chorus
JJC: No matter the nationality or what your passport says, if you are black, you are African. Tchoumo From America to Jamaica every single Diaspora, Scream out loud Awooo!!
