lyrics

This is Africa
(straight up)
ain't no chaser
We gon' take it up higher
Elevator
If you're looking for party
just be patient
This one 'bout to get started any second

And if you’re tryna find the way
Only the lion’s will come this far
Be a Lion for a day
All of the jungle will hear you roar
As the music is jammin’
The rhythm is slammin’
The people are askin’ for
Bam Bam straight up

(Bruk it down)
This is Jamaica
(straight up)
ain't no chaser
Come fi ram up di dance 'n
Bad behavior
Uno wine up ya body 'n
move your waist uh
DJ ramp up di sound 'n
Mash di place up
(BO!)

And if you’re tryna find the way
You’ll find it today, today
When the lions start to play
You won’t be the same again
As the music is jammin’
The rhythm is slammin’
The people are askin’ for
Bam Bam straight up
