[Verse 1]
Omang, in this concrete jungle of conspiracies and propaganda?
Omang, in this bottomless pit of lust, rape and AIDS
Of moral decay, father rapes daughter?
Omang, wena, in this world of politricks?
Bush tricking for oil, claim to innocent lives lost
We remain the fetus of the pregnant beast in these perilous days
Omang, MoAfrika, in that dark skin?
Are you media and press infested?
Are you African American, European African or African African?
Ke ra hore Africa for Africans is the order of the day
Whence that order manifests, o tlo wela kae?
Who are you? You need not be undecisive in the valley of decision
You need to find the God that's in you
Assess and reassess
So when I ask "O mang?" o kgone go mpotsa
O mang, MoAfrika?
O mang, MoAfrika?

[Chorus]
Mochangane...
Letebele...
Mochangane...
Letebele...

[Verse 2]
Mina I am, wena o mang?
I am what I am or jwang
I am now, present continuous...

I chant ancestral mantras
Evoking higher platform of spiritual interest
Of which I am the keenest
[?]

I see the sun in the morning
Cloudy day or rainy day, I greed the sun anyway
But when I see you I don't say good morning...

Nna ke motho wa Afrika
I overstand that for me to increase you don't have to decrease
My identity no longer confined to inequity
I could be Swahili, Zulu, Shona or Mbezi
If it rains, it rains, Thixo so mandla let it rain
Ke motho wa Afrika, wena o mang, MoAfrika?
Nna ke motho wa Afrika, wena o mang, MoAfrika?
Therefore I be, wena o mang?
Wena neng-neng ore nywe-nywe-nywe
Jabs has been kae-kae le bo dimang-mang
Wena o mang? O ngobani, o boya kophi?
O ya kophi, o thongwe obani?
Athi o ye kophi, o fike o yenze noma kwenzakalani
Mina ngi oyena, e ngi oyena
I and I is, please, please let I and I be

...there and then, vele vele I am
In the seed of my weed which I need for a spiritual feed
I am, ganja be ganja, me be me, therefore I am

...gone. I be where I need to be
Picture me drowned, bring me down
But like dust on the humble feet of my niggers and sisters
I shall rise, oh yes, I shall rise

...to what seems to be a problem
Only to find there was never a problem
Just a need to be
I am knowledge to what seems to be ignorance
Only to find there was never ignorance
Just a need to be
I am the reality to what seems to be an illusion
Only to find there was never illusion
Just a need to be
Therefore I be, wena o mang?

Wena neng-neng ore nywe-nywe-nywe
Jabs has been kae-kae le bo dimang-mang
Wena o mang? O ngobani, o boya kophi?
O ya kophi, o thongwe obani?
Athi o ye kophi, o fike o yenze noma kwenzakalani
Mina ngi oyena, e ngi oyena
I and I is, so let I and I be
Now you see me, now you don't
Gone, I be where I need to be
Picture me gone, bring me down
But like dust on the humble feet of my niggers and sisters
I shall rise, oh yes, I shall rise

Look at me rise, oh yes, I shall rise
Watch me rise, watch me rise

[Chorus]
Mochangane...
Letebele...
Mochangane...
Letebele...
