“African Dream” is that song you play when Japa life starts showing you pepper or when you are experiencing homesickness. Flavour paints the picture of someone abroad, counting the days till they touch African soil again. Blending traditional African instrumentation with contemporary production, the song celebrates the continent as a place of comfort and belonging; there’s truly no place like the motherland.

[Verse]
I′m a prisoner in a foreign land
I'm an alien in a foreign land
Trying to find my feet
Trying to make it work
Oh no, it′s not that easy
Crazy situation
Running from immigration
Scared of deportation
But, for how long?
I've made my decision
Going to the motherland
Nowhere be like home
[Chorus]
Africa
Africa
Africa, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Africa
A-yeyeye, my Africa
A-yeyeye, my Africa
A-yeyeye, oh Africa
Nowhere be like home
Africa
Africa
(Iyowei, Africa, ah, Africa)
You know I'm a prisoner (Iyowei, Africa, ah, Africa)
All the way from Africa (Iyowei, Africa, ah, Africa)
I′m going back to the motherland (Iyowei, Africa, ah, Africa)
Where it′s so natural (Iyowei, Africa, ah, Africa)
The land of milk and honey (Iyowei, Africa, ah, Africa)
Mama Africa (Iyowei, Africa, ah, Africa)
I can hear you calling (Iyowei, Africa, ah, Africa)
(Iyowei, Africa, ah, Africa) a-yeyeye-iye, Africa
[Outro]
Africa, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, Africa
