You see all dem people whey you see over deh so
Don't pay dem nuh mind

I will break these chains
Of their subhuman bondage
Scatter all the remains
With negative thoughts in diverse places
Posses the state of mind to declare anytime
Say Mama Africa a yours and mine
Own a continent no island never deh pon mi mind
This was well-orchestrated plan from long time
Soon I shall be home and everything will be fine
When you see the lion running wild know that is a sign
Of an ancient order royal and divine
With all the natural resource to satisfy mankind

At every passing vessel my teardrops flow
Could it be in my direction it goes
Beaulah land beckons trod home trod home

Chorus

Verse 3:
The sweetest things are there to be found
The golden sunshine
The wind blows around
The fresh vegetation which comes from the earth
Oh Mama Africa you make me know what life is worth

Overall Meaning

The song "Hello Mama Africa" by Anthony B is a powerful tribute to the African continent. The first verse speaks to the idea of breaking the chains of subhuman bondage and scattering negative thoughts. It encourages people to possess a state of mind that declares Mama Africa to be both a shared heritage and a unique personal possession. The second verse references Marcus Garvey's Black Starliner which was an effort to create a shipping line owned and operated by African-American entrepreneurs. This transportation system aimed to help people of color return to Africa and build a new society free from oppression. The lyrics make clear the belief that the African continent is central to the heritage of people of African descent globally.


The chorus reinforces the sentiment of the song with its welcoming greeting of "Hello Mama Africa, How are you?" The hopes expressed in the lyrics are for both a personal feeling of well-being as well as a larger aspiration for the continent itself- that hearing these words could turn Mama Africa's grays to blue. The third verse raises the idea of finding the sweetness of life in Africa. The golden sunshine, fresh vegetation, and the wind that blows around all come together to make life worth living. For many, the beauty of the continent is not just a reminder of home, but a motivation to strive for its betterment and upliftment.
