Lyrics: Get Up and Do Something (ft. Fannie Lou Hamer) - Elikya Ngoma Verse (Fannie Lou Hamer) You can pray until you faint But if you don't get up and try to do something God is not going to put it in your lap And it's no need of running and no need of saying "Honey, I'm not gon get in the mess." Because, if you were born in America with a black face, You were born in the mess!

Lyrics: Make the Struggle (ft. Ella Baker) - Elikya Ngoma Verse 1 (Ella Baker) A little boy on the streets of Norfolk called me a nigger, I struck him back! I struck him back! (Elikya Ngoma - music) Verse 2 (Ella Baker) I had to learn that hitting, Back with my fists, One individual, was not enough It takes organization, It takes dedication It takes the willingness to stand by And do what has to be done When it has to be done Give Ngoma Some (Elikya Ngoma - music) Bridge (Ella Baker) You have to go back and reach out to your neighbors Who don't speak to you And you have to reach out to your friends Who think they are making it good (Elikya Ngoma - music) Verse 3 (Ella Baker) Until we can get people to recognize That they themselves Have to make the struggle And have to make the fight for freedom Every day In the year Every year Until they win it Thank you!

Lyrics: Liberate the Minds (ft. Marcus Garvey) - Elikya Ngoma Verse 1 (Marcus Garvey) Today, Africa's walking around not only on her feet, but on her brains. You can enslave, as was done for 300 years, the bodies of men, You can shackle the hands of men, You can shackle the feet of men, You can imprison the bodies of men, BUT YOU CANNOT SHACKLE OR IMPRISON THE MINDS OF MEN! Give Ngoma Some (Elikya Ngoma - Music) Verse 2 (Marcus Garvey) So give us credit for being able to use our minds. And with people becoming conscious of themselves, Determined to use their minds, You do not know to what extent they can go. Liberate the minds of men and ultimately you will liberate the bodies of men. Liberate the minds of men and ultimately you will liberate the bodies of men. (Elikya Ngoma - Music) Vamp (Marcus Garvey) Liberate the minds of men and ultimately you will liberate the bodies of men. Liberate the minds of men and ultimately you will liberate the bodies of men. Liberate the minds of men and ultimately you will liberate the bodies of men. Liberate the minds of men and ultimately you will liberate the bodies of men. (Elikya Ngoma - music) Animasyon (Elikya Ngoma) Now everybody say (liberate the minds...) All my African people (liberate the minds...) At home and abroad (liberate the minds...) Black people, my people! (liberate the minds...) Okay! (liberate the minds...) Whether you're down on the Continent (liberate the minds...) Or in the Caribbean (liberate the minds...) Europe, U.S.A.

Lyrics: Pa Di m Ayiti Pòv! (ft. Elikya Ngoma) - Elikya Ngoma Verse 1 (Elikya Ngoma) Isi... Nenpòt lè y ap pale de Ayiti Yo di "Haiti! The poorest country in the Western Hemisphere" "Ayiti!.. Peyi ki pi pòv...nan l'Amériques." Sa se yon lòt jan yo konn di l tou, right? "The poorest country in the Americas."

(Elikya Ngoma - music) Bridge (Elikya Ngoma) Kisa ki enpòtan a fwaz sa, ki fè yo paka pa di l, Yo pa janm manke di l Gen yon plan, se yon ide y ap mete nan ou, Nan moun ka p resevwa enfòmasyon sa Verse 3 (Elikya Ngoma) E se nou menm, ki pou reyalize sa, E pou nou di: ey, si w ap bay rapò de Ayiti, m pa vle tande fwaz sa Oubyen, si w ap bay fwaz sa, fò w bay verite a Pa di m ke Ayiti pòv, si w pa di m poukisa Ayiti pòv Pa di m Ayiti pòv, si w pa di m ke se tout peyi blan yo Ki toujou gen men nan richès Ayiti, k ap vòlè Ayiti Pa di m Ayiti pòv, si w pa p di m sa Pa di m Ayiti pòv, si w pa p di m ke menm gouvènman sa yo, Yo gen moun k ap travay pou yo andan gouvènman Ayisyen an, K ap pran tout richès peyi a, k ap bay yo Pa di m Ayiti pòv, si w pa di m tout sa, e yo pa p di w tout sa Paske pou yo di tout sa, fò yo admet ki wòl yo jwe ladan Men y ap di w "Ayiti pòv!" Sa vle di, s'on bagay ki just leve konsa, li egziste On jou nou te rich, boum! San anyen rive, nou pòv Se sa yo vle nou konprann Se ide sa yo vle mete nan tèt nou Pa gen anyen ki san plan (Elikya Ngoma - music) Outro (Elikya Ngoma) Yo di l paske yo vle projeté yon imaj, yon ide de Ayiti e kısa Ayisyen ye (Elikya Ngoma - music)
