Upside Down.


UPSIDE DOWN.

…English man get English name
American man get American name
German man get German name
Russian man get Russian name
Chinese man get Chinese name

For African man outside don't see
I'm beginning to vex up for this land
I no to travel anywhere
Everything dey under my nose
For African man outside don't see
Fillings boku road no dey
Land boku food no dey
Area boku house no dey
People no dey bear African name
People no dey think African style
People no know Africa great
For African man outside don't seeeeeee…

Lyrics and arrangement by Fela Kuti (1976).

Vocals by Sandra Akanke.
