[00:09.37]I made it quite clear
[00:11.75]That from now on – today
[00:14.67]We must change our attitudes, our minds
[00:19.31]We must realise that from now on
[00:21.75]We are no more a colonial but a free and independent people
[00:25.97]We are prepared to pick it up
[00:28.43]And make it a nation that will be respected
[00:30.93]By every other nation in the world
[00:33.41]Today, from now on, there is a new African in the world!
[00:37.12]That new African is ready to fight his own battles
[00:41.77]And show that after all,
[00:43.20]The black man is capable of managing his own affairs
[00:46.06]We are going to demonstrate to the world
[00:49.02]That we are going to create our own African personality and identity
[00:54.18]Our independence is meaningless
[00:58.14]Unless it is linked up
[00:59.24]With the total liberation of the African continent
[01:17.77]Take the shackles off my feet
[01:20.33]Make I go, make I go
[01:22.76]It's a battle with the beast
[01:25.14]Take your shield, help me go
[01:27.68]Kwame Nkrumah takeover
[01:30.07]New Africa, makeover
[01:32.32]Let's bow our heads and pray oh lord
[01:34.81]Our father help us fight the war

[02:11.28]Ghana down to Suriname
[02:13.71]Taken from our motherland

[02:55.96]And please don't tell me you've forgotten us
[02:58.29]Your last children living anonymous
[03:00.65]In a very strange land where dem carried us
[03:03.15]And it must be a natural phenomenon
[03:05.52]How we still can remember where we're coming from
[03:07.98]Even tru the brainwashing curriculum
[03:10.26]Up through the ages and milleniums
[03:12.81]Last 400 years has been fabulous
