PRINCE EYANGO /MENTALITE AFRICAINE BY NDEDI EYANGO

Lyrics for "MENTALITE AFRICAINE"

Mentalité Africaine (African Mentality)

The monkey is a monkey
Put it in any city in the world
It's still a bush animal

The center of palaver
I'm not there
The center of jealousy
The center of hypocrites
Take me somewhere else
You like to judge others, who's going to judge you
Others are moving forward
While we're moving backwards

Don't bring me palaver, jealousy, gossip,
I'm not there
Take me somewhere else I don't want it

Always criticizing, but not to help progress
Oh Africans,
We destroy in one day,
But we take forever to build
Oh Africans,
Why do we look at the specks of sawdust in our brother's eye
And pay no attention to the plank in our own eyes
We always talk about change,
When we ourselves have never changed
Our skin is dark, our heart is dark
Is this why we choose to live in the darkness
We spend time to waste time on discussions
Which have no importance
We get together only to destroy,
But never to work together to build

The center of jealousy
I'm not there
The center of wicked people
I'm not there
The center of gossip
Take me somewhere else I don't want it

For you African
The devil is someone else
Never yourself
But you're forgetting one thing
You're like a duck that has wings, but cannot fly

When I reached Yaoundé
I realized there's no difference
From Lomé to Cotonou towards Ouagadougou
It's the same thing
I went to Libreville passing through Abidjan
There's no difference
From Dakar to Bamako
From Nairobi to Lagos
We're all the same
Kinshasa, Lusaka, Monrovia, Accra
Let's change
Brazzaville, Bangui, Conakry, Malabo
Let's change the mentality

Cameroon change!
A lost generation

We should stop complaining, when we are the cause of our problems
You can talk, and talk, and spend time talking but don't you know that action speak louder than words
I should ask myself what did do
You should ask yourself what did you do
He should ask himself
What did he do to change the mentality?
Nothing, only talk

Living in Africa or Europe
There's no difference
Living in America or Asia
There's no difference
The mentality has never changed

Even if the suit is well sewn
The ideas are not well sown
We talk about change when we have not changed

He sees bad everywhere


Until his own shadow frightens him

[tunkunrunk]

beaucoup de chanteurs africains dénoncent les maux de nos sociétés , mais je trouve que l'on dance surtout au lieu de réflechir sur leurs textes . içi en europe on fait étudier les textes d'auteurs français ou autre , on devrai faire de meme

[NanjeMusicProduction]

You are what many africans are not; in most of your songs you have always sang about social issues; social revolution in our homes, relationships etc.From you must calculat to soul botingo and now mentallite d'africaine. I believe sincerely that your songs should analysed in schools to see the importance of your message.
