African Children

Many african children live
Living in a concrete situation

African children
Are living in a concrete situation
African children
They don't know a where ya comin' from
African children
Right here in a mean, wild world
African children

All of the nations are living in these tenements
A crying and applying to the council for us a stance
Now the tribulation it's so sad
Now the environment it is so bad
I rise concrete no backyard for the children to play

African children
Are living in a concrete situation
African children
They don't know where ya comin' a from
African children
African children

All the people are living in these tenements, bring it down
Africa stone wall concrete cubical
The rent increasing every other day
Sure sure rebels a system never done
Lived out of the action on the 27th floor
And when they think world
Don't you know it smell now

African children

A many african children
They are there in the carnival
A many african children
They must know a where we're coming from

African children
African children
African children
In a concrete situation
African children
They don't know a where ya comin' from
African children
In a concrete...
African children
They don't know a where ya comin' from

And do you feel Irie?
Do you feel Irie?

See, some living in a high rise
Some living in a low rise
And when it rains
The children can't go out to play

Some living in a high rise
Some living in a low rise
And when it rains
The children can't go out to play
