I am an African

Tinyiko chauke 2002 (Tembisa)

Allow me to tell you everything my forefathers told me
Let me lend you what u lent to ink a paper
I am an African dressed with my dark and beautiful skin colour

I am royalty
I am a princess of Africa
Africa the land of honey Africa the land or Roots

I walk tall each and every day
Because i am clothed with humanity and dignity
I am royalty
I rhyme with different languages
Ngiyakhuluma
Kabolela
Navulavula
Ndiyathetha
I tell tails worthy of seasoning profund sons

I am an African
I am royalty
