Africa must be free
South Africa
Blood fire rastafari

[Chorus]
Forward jah jah jah jah children
Forward jah jah jah jah children

The time has come when we all should sing unto jah
Day after day the children of zion try to reach up to you
But they stopping us with their guns and brutality
Oh lord!

[Chorus]

Let's sing praises unto the most high jah rastafari
I and I I jah rastafari, I and I I jah rastafari
Wowowooo yes yes yes yes come on now men
Can ever be free our own land
Can ever be free our own land
The wicked them turn it into battle ground
Can even smoke our little ilie (collie)
Can even smoke our little ilie
Let's sing praises unto jah
I and I I jah rastafari, I and I I jah rastafari
Yes yes yes yes come on now men

[Chorus]

Let's sing praises unto the most high jah rastafari
I and I I jah rastafari, I and I I jah rastafari
Yes yes yes yes
Oh now now now
I never know, never know
I say forward jah jah children
