Make we wake up from sleep!
From Cairo down to Cape Town
From Lagos to Nairobi town
Our people still dey suffer oh
While leaders dey enjoy power oh
Youth dey run commot continent
Searching for better government
But the answer dey for inside
If we build am with our own hand
Africa must wake! (wake up!)
No more slumber, we go shake! (let's go!)
Build the future wey we deserve
Safety and prosperity for all!
Africa must wake! (stand up!)
From East to West we go make!
United we go prosper oh

Every leader wey dey for seat

And my people wey dey follow
Make we hold our leaders accountable oh
We get power for our hand
Make we use am build our land
Africa must wake! (wake up!)
No more slumber, we go shake! (let's go!)
Build the future wey we deserve
