Why are we not proud of who we are? We are Africans,
descendants of Sunjata Keita, the of the Mandé people.
We our own culture and civilisation, which we must be proud of.
Instead, we to look like Westerners, Chinese, Asians,
and Arabs by our skin, selling off our land and resources,
and their fashions. As a result,
we are and our traditions escape us.
So who will to defend our African dignity in our place?

Let's not turn our on our traditions
Let's them, be proud of them

not abandon our traditions
We need to them, like a miracle
Let's not turn our back on

They want to our traditional values
we are Africans
We have lost all our cultural
Because they see us as
Our ancestors have us
want to kill our traditions
Because we are
Our warmth is disappearing

I bow before our ancestral traditions,
I pray to the of our ancestors
I bow before our ancestral

Why are we not of who we are?
We try to look Europeans, by bleaching our skin
We try to look like the Chinese and sell off our resources to
We think that being Muslim means to cover from top to toe
We want to look like Indians by applying bindi to our forehead
Who will on Sunjata's heritage?
I, Diawara Fanta stand up and
vow to on the ancestral heritage
Who build Africa for us?
Who live the African life in our stead?
We have lost all our cultural references to western
If we do not ourselves, no one will ever respect us

Why are we not of who we are?
