exin ti n gun exin Exinxin You rider who are a carrier House-fly You horseman with a baby demon On your shoulders Listen : This gate was built high enough That you may ride your horse through But the passenger on your shoulders Will not be allowed in A hypocrite may be an African But he is not a wise man One who curses the enemy with his first breath But will defend the enemy with his last breath And will defend With his falling body The seeds planted by the enemy is not a wise man A true man serves in the open The one Word that is Africa The hypocrite serves two masters One openly the other secretly So he will sing the praises Of the daylight master While he works in the dark For the longevity of the hidden May all good worksmen prosper The strength of the arm Is guided by the vision of the eye I will not hold a nail in place For the cross-eyed hammer wielder I fear no division Between where I am And where the hypocrite stands What is an African? Discard your preconceptions Before you seek a true definition An African has one face His father may have been a scot But because he holds as first The source of his mother Because he knows the true value Of what his mother gave to him He will never object To one who says Queen of all Is the one First Mother The wise African never invested So much in the world of the 'white' That he would fear It's devaluation A true man would step into the unknown If that were his decision With courage and total commitment A true African serves in the open The one Word that is Africa A true African does not serve two masters One open the other hidden.
