Humble African

Ah, humble African

I'm on this land, I trouble no one

My desire is to make no problem with no one

Non-interference, non-political

No matter what you do, I see, I'm blind and hear, I'm deaf

I'm a humble African

Passing through Babylon

I'm a humble African

Trouble no one

Said I'm a humble African

Some said I'm a rastaman

I'm a humble African, yeah

These little hands and simple fingers that I have

They were not made to pinch nor tear, you heal

But to move in deeds of kindness, you see

And to fall in thoughts of prayer to help my brother pray

For the betterment of his life, yeah, oh yeah

It's better to have a friend than to need one

It's better to find a friend, one to be in need

Lift up your brother, don't you put him down

One hand wash the other, pongo and paki come

I'm a humble African

I was born to love my brother

I'm a humble African

United I must be

I'm a humble African

No matter what they say

I'm a humble African

My forefathers came here from the days of slaves

I work until my skin start to strip

And to every time I speak for my justice

Yes, someone always to name me disagreeable still

I pray the day will come when we all have peace and unity

No more chasing one another without humanity

I pray the day will come that we all share what we have

And show the people of the love that we have to give

Let them know

I'm a humble African

Nothing but unity inside

I'm a humble African

Jah stand for us all

I'm a humble African

Let me beat my drum inna Babylon

I'm a humble African

Jah you know who I am

A humble African
