Lyrics
Africa, here I come
Here I come, I come, I come
Oh Lord, oh Lord
Give me a one way ticket
Going back home to Africa to live it
Inna Babylon I live like dog
Want go back a mi yard
Beg you, give me a one way ticket
Going right back to Africa to live it
Inna Babylon I live like dog
Want go back a mi yard
They work I so hard
Down a Dungsand Yard
All of my youthful days I done there
Me no get no reward
My woman is a-crying
And my children are suffering
By any means necessary
I got to leave this here system, so
Beg you, give me a one way ticket
Me going down a Africa to live it
Inna Babylon I suffer like dog
Want go back a mi yard
Beg you, give me a one way ticket
Me going down a Africa to look it
Inna Babylon I suffer like dog
Want go back a mi yard
They took I away from my father's land, oh God
And carried I here down inna Babylon, oh gosh
So much agony and sufferation, woy, woy
Years of blood, sweat, and tears
I'm just living in fear, Lord, so
Beg you, give me a one way ticket
Me going back to Africa to live it
Inna Babylon I suffer like dog
Want go back a mi yard
Give me a one way ticket
Going back to Africa to live it
Inna Babylon I suffer like dog
Want go home a mi yard
Me no want no return (Me no want)
Say, a strictly one way
And when the plane touch down inna Africa
Yes, a deh so me ago stay
In the abundance of food and wealth
There I and I will dwell (I and I will dwell)
My woman, my children, and I will be living well, so
Give me a one way ticket
Me going back to Africa to live it
Inna Babylon I suffer like dog
Want go home a mi yard
Give me a one way ticket
