Lion Born in Africa – Elijah Kitaka
Lion Born in Africa Lyrics
(Intro)
Black is braze
Black is a worrior
Black is who we are
Black is African
Here I am, on this day
(Verse)
In the jungle
Brave and humble
When I see the elephant and the rhino
My arrival faster than a bullet from a rifle
Every word I say is final
(Pre-Chorus)
Kankumbe kuba ndi muwanguzi nantamegwa, yeah
Siri kyabulambuzi
Mwatu nedda nedda
(Chorus)
I am a lion born in Africa, (Africa)
I am a child of the pearl of Africa, (Africa), yeah
(Verse)
256
The numbers fit don’t fix
Kampala is my office
911 police
Yellow red black
Sunshine brotherhood and colour
Rainbow colourful but am proud black is my colour
(Pre-Chorus)
Kankumbe kuba ndi muwanguzi nantamegwa, yeah
Siri kyabulambuzi
Mwatu nedda nedda
(Chorus)
I am a lion born in Africa, (Africa)
I am a child of the pearl of Africa, (Africa), yeah
(Bridge)
Ndi mwana wa Africa (Africa)
Okuva mu Uganda (Aya, yeba, yeba)
Mpologoma ya Africa
Muzukulu wa Uganda
(Chorus)
I am a lion born in Africa, (Africa)
I am a child of the pearl of Africa, (Africa), yeah
I am a lion born in Africa, (Africa)
I am a child of the pearl of Africa, (Africa), yeah
(Outro)
Ayaa (Africa)
Aya, yeba
Africa … one blood
