54 Countries - Full Journey

[Chorus]

Said she wanna go Africa

I said that's 54 countries

And every place different calibre

Different flavours tell me what you need

How far?

Hurry up I'm about to leave

Been in Babylon way too long

Gotta get that break that pedal and screech

[Verse]

Take shots at a Zanzibar

Chop mishkaki by the ocean beach

Konyagi with the locals

Take time coz it's stronger than a lion teeth

See an old volcano

Climb Kilimanjaro that's the highest peak

See the Pharaohs in Egypt

Tutankhamun and Ramesses

And when you see those statues

Staring at you you'll see we're the original Gs

Tun up at Great pyramid of Giza

Ancient wonders and Dynasties

[Chorus]

Said she wanna go Africa

I said that's 54 countries

And every place different calibre

Different flavours tell me what you need

How far?

Hurry up I'm about to leave

Been in Babylon way too long

Gotta get that break that pedal and screech

[Verse]

We can go to Zimbabwe see how the waterfall into the Zambezi

Picnic in the safari

Then drive through Jacaranda trees

Snorkeling at Seychelles

Crystal clear ocean you can see those reefs

Feel the waters on your feet

Seychellois got the cleanest beach

And when we touchdown Accra

You go dey like rah can I get some 2 hour sleep?

Coz everywhere lit like Christmas tree

My area code plus 233

[Chorus]

Said she wanna go Africa

I said that's 54 countries

And every place different calibre

Different flavours tell me what you need

How far?

Hurry up I'm about to leave

Been in Babylon way too long

Gotta get that break that pedal and screech

[Verse]

Camel riding from the Sahara

To Marrakesh watch the sunset bleed

Dance with the Masai in Nairobi

Swim with the Dolphins in Mozambique

Hit Kampala no wahala

Chop Ugali and feast

Monday to Monday the turn up's peak

They don't know any difference to the end of week

Or we can turn up in Lagos or maybe Abuja

Where we can get some peace

See things that you won't believe

Don't believe everything that you watch and read

[Chorus]

Said she wanna go Africa

I said that's 54 countries

And every place different calibre

Different flavours tell me what you need

How far?

Hurry up I'm about to leave

Been in Babylon way too long

Gotta get that break that pedal and screech

[Refrain]

Let me take em to all 54 countries

[Verse]

We can blow the horn of Africa

Go Somalia and sip some tea

And then push to Ethiopia

Walk the same grounds as Haile Selassie

Eritrea cruise the Red Sea

Swim with the whale sharks in Djibouti

Boat ride in Bujumbura

Then hit Lake Tanganyika in Burundi

And Joburg got the baddies

You see the way dem dey move to the piano beats

Dem tshwala tshwala

Then guara guara pon their feet

And we can go to Sudan

That's twice as many pyramids as Egypt

Then pull up to Tuti Island

Get away from the hype man smoke loud in peace

[Chorus]

Said she wanna go Africa

I said that's 54 countries

And every place different calibre

Different flavours tell me what you need

How far?

Hurry up I'm about to leave

Been in Babylon way too long

Gotta get that break that pedal and screech

[Verse]

We can go to Algeria

Quick pull up to Notre Dame Dafrique

If surfing the criteria

Then hit Liberia for a wavy scene

A holiday in Gambia

We can play volleyball at Kololi Beach

Then circle back to Zambia

Reclaim Mosi-oa-Tunya and take what belongs to we

Go Togo Batammariba streets

Hit Congo dance like we Congolese

God bless our Libya

As we pray in temples in Tripoli

[Chorus]

Said she wanna go Africa

I said that's 54 countries

And every place different calibre

Different flavours tell me what you need

How far?

Hurry up I'm about to leave

[Verse]

We can go to Namibia

See some flamingos by the bay

Or switch it up to Burkina

Show you the Tiina revolutionary

You see they tried Nkruman tried Sankara

But they can never Traore

Take a journey to Mali

Home of the Dogon cosmology

And stroll around Timbuktu

It’s a real place no it ain’t that far away

And they really got books you can read for days

Oldest manuscripts and libraries

[Chorus]

Said she wanna go Africa

I said that's 54 countries

And every place different calibre

Different flavours tell me what you need

How far?

Hurry up I'm about to leave

Been in Babylon way too long

[Verse]

Take a trip to Botswana

Look for the Big 5 get so intrigued

DJ pull up and Rwanda

I ain’t never been a place so neat and clean

I know I mentioned Ghana

But I never told you about our Kings and Queens

Especially adorned in Kente seams

Everybody looking fly that’s royalty

And Cote d’Ivoire wanna spoil me

Acheke tilapia and feast

Do the same when we hit Benin

Don’t blame me if you come back obese

[Half-Chorus]

Said she wanna go Africa

I said that's 54 countries

And every place different calibre

Different flavours tell me what you need

[Verse]

Come along to Gabon

We can go to Loango where elephants roaming free

Have you ever been to Lesotho?

Hike on the mountains of Maluti

If you want sunbathe let ya hair down

We can head down to Sao Tome

Or escape to an island in Conakry

No stress in our way coz we out of reach

Safari in Malawi

Scuba diving in waters so deep

If you want wildlife for your gallery

Then the next stop Eswatini

[Half-Chorus]

Said she wanna go Africa

I said that's 54 countries

And every place different calibre

Different flavours tell me what you need

[Verse]

If you want something delicious

We can chop jollof from a Senegalese

Then head down to Mauritius

A slice of paradise spend time in peace

Or we can go Madagascar

Be at one with nature and live your dreams

And hit Chad for the culture

Try the fish and local cuisine

Or switch zones Tunisia

Take Hamam baths my habibi

Or fly go Mauritania

See the ancient city of Chinguetti

[Chorus]

Said she wanna go Africa

I said that's 54 countries

And every place different calibre

Different flavours tell me what you need

How far?

Hurry up I'm about to leave

[Verse]

Make we do South Sudan

Where history and nature blends seamlessly

Hit the market in Yaounde

Buy from the locals carvings and beads

Or we can do Guinea Bissau

Get traditional fabrics and jewellery

And then if time allows

Go Niger explore ancient cities

There’s one place full of riches

The most wealthiest place that I’ve ever seen

Needs to be the capital of Africa

Can’t shut my eyes till DRCS

[Chorus]

Said she wanna go Africa

I said that's 54 countries

And every place different calibre

Different flavours tell me what you need

How far?

Hurry up I'm about to leave

[Verse]

Make we go Angola

Hit Luanda you go never wan leave

Central Republic of Africa

Watch elephants bath see the birds dem flee

Have you been Cape Verde?

Man that should’ve been first so beautiful and clean

Just like Equatorial Guinea

One of my favourite places to be

And when we go Sierra Leone

You will feel at home when you chop cassava leaves

Rare place you don’t hear that’s Comoros

That’s the island for a white sand beach

[Chorus]

Said she wanna go Africa

I said that's 54 countries

And every place different calibre

Different flavours tell me what you need

How far?

Hurry up I'm about to leave

Been in Babylon way too long

Gotta get that break that pedal and screech
