I wanna be rich, I wanna be famous
I wanna have lots, lots of money
Soar above the clouds
I wanna be free like Nelson Mandela
Stand tall like a pyramid, so so courageous
No place I’d rather be (oh na, na, na, oh na, na, na)
There’s no place I’d rather be (oh na, na, na)

Live and die in Afrika
I wanna live and die in Afrika
Live and die in Afrika
Live and die in Afrika

I wanna feel love, I wanna be remembered
I wanna go down in history, make my mama proud
The darker the berry, the sweeter the juice
Na sitoki nyumbani mwacha mila ni mtumwa
Eeeh, no place I’d rather go
Ooh, no place I’d rather go!

I'll live and die in Afrika
Yeah, live and die in Afrika
Ooh, yeah, live and die in Afrika
Yeah, I'll live and die in Afrika
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Nazunga lunge, nazunga lunge

Cause I wanna live and die in Afrika
I wanna live and die in Afrika

Ooh, yeah
Hello motherland, tell me how you doin'
Ooh oh
Hello motherland, tell me how you doin'
Ooh woo woo
Hello motherland, tell me how you doin'
Eeh
Hello motherland, tell me how you doin'
