Tosh, Peter - African Lyrics
Don't care where you come from
As long as you're a black man
You're an African
No mind your nationality
'Cause if you come from Clarendon
And if you come from Portland
And if you come from Westmoreland
You're an African
No mind your nationality
You've got the identity of an African
'Cause if you come Trinidad
And if you come from Cuba
You're an African
No mind your complexion
There is no rejection
You're an African
'Cause if your plexion
High [3x]
If your complexion low, low, low
And if your plexion in between
You're an African
No mind denomination
That is only segregation
You're an African
'Cause if you go to the Catholic
And if you go to the Methodist
And if you go to the Church of Gods
You're an African
No mind your nationality
You have got the identity of an African
'Cause if you come from Brixton
And if you come from Weesday
And if you come from Wingstead
And if you come from France
...Brooklyn
...Queens
...Manhattan
...Canada
...Miami
...Switzerland
...Germany
...Russia
...Taiwan

Just great but left too soon
I couldn't help but notice how many white commenters are here saying that they too are Africans. So what if you're also African?We all know humankind originated from Africa. Peter Tosh knew it too (he was an educated man); he was just focusing on "the black man" (his own words), not the oppressor. Can we black people have some space to ourselves to discuss our own unique identity without a white man coming in to remind us about his existence? This lecture that Peter gave us on our heritage has nothing to do with you white people but somehow you white folks came here to make it all about you. Get over yourselves; when we want to include you in something, we will let you know.
He had such a great voice. This is such a gray track.
Love Peter Tosh but its been proven that black people were in the Americas long before Africans were introduced through slavery. They were there even since before what we now call 'Native Americans' arrived.
Peter tosh told it 💯 and this is a anthem,rip
🌍✊🏿🔥🇹🇹🇬🇭
No questions about this. As far as you are black, no options or choice. You are an African. I am a super proud African.
And if you come from..KENYA. you are an afriiiicann
them Alphabet bwoys should take heed.
White folks: "He's talking about ALL people. We're all from Africa! We are all the same! Herrr derrr"
Proud to be black
To any of you African culture experts. How can bad African traditions like these be ended?

Hapo sasa.Republic of Kenya.
White guy from Europe (my country never had colonies) here and agree with song
United Africa would be greatest power on earth by far
Humans descended from Africa and that also makes me - after all - an African
my favorite Peter tosh song ever.
Tell African Americans. They thought to be native American. Those brothers stupid as hell
OfficialStreetBlack VeVo well said,they are confused morons.
3.10 - 3.12 #France Dedication to the soccer World Cup winners 2018. Great music Peter Tosh. Your legacy is alive!
NICE ONE
Except Australia! Oldest surviving culture in the world right here!
Wrong. Aboriginal Australians descend from migrant groups that left Africa approx 60-70 thousand years ago.
Love this man old time
Proudly African👌💪

Who Needs Hip Hop or Gangsta Rap when you have Mr. Tosh saying it how it is. Long Live Africa!
DracoRepto X most definitely most hip hop is garbage anyway is extremely destructive towards the black community causing us to have low self-esteem issues.

This song makes me so proud of the skin I'm in! Although I was born in America I know that I am indeed an AFRICAN! Black people all around the world need to know we are one people!
Black people failed to accepted this!(
Bunny Wailer on backing vocals

Peter Tosh is not only a reggae genius, but a mentor teaching us the truth that we are Africans period!Africans are the original beings of the world.Africans in London, Accra, Kingston, Havana, Miami, Bridgetown, Port of Spain, New York, Lagos, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Dakar, Conakry, Addis Ababa, Cairo, Tampa, San Jose, San Juan, Toronto, Birmingham, Nottingham, Tuskegee, Liverpool, Bristol, Manchester, Newcastle, Leeds, Durham, Leicester, Derby, Sheffield, Montreal, Oslo, Paris, Berlin, Moscow, Tokyo, Hanoi, Caracas, Delhi, Beijing, Bombay, Lahore and Chicago, Africans are everywhere in the world and you know it.Peter Tosh is defiance and we don't care what our foes say!
This song was special for Black people who hate themselves, And who been taught to hate themselves by Devils, Racists, X Slave masters.
Malcolm X like M.J. (RIP)
yuh bleach yuh skin, still you're an African.
If Bob Marley and Peter were alive today. We would have more rastamen....
borniface siwakwi most definitely
The best !!!!!!
black is gold
jay sanch melanin is actually worth more than gold
Literally
So is white
happy to be truly NAPPY
I love this it me and you if you believe . Yes I'm African from Sierra Leone. Be proud of who you are.
prophet magic Peter tosh
prrrrrrrrrr respect
Big up Peter Tosh forever! The true RASTAMAN. Peter did not get the recognition like the great Bob Marley because of his dark skin color and his warrior mentality. RIP in peace Peter, much love!
True.......they over rate Marley too much.
My thoughts exactly I figured that out before I was a adult. Tell some people that they ready to fight you like that are Bob's sons.
Im a huge of of both Bob and peter what you said is totally wrong , Peter and Bob were 2 great individuals. With 2 opposites characters although they had the same mission . Bob was more a kind of prophet for the black cause but his music had a wide audiences because every body felt and still feel related to it . On the other hand peter was a wild bumbo klat revolutionary his words were like a stepping razor , to be honest whites people scared of him that dude didn’t compromised him self , he could have been popular as much as Bob but his ego was to huge .
Peter was not into playing pop music and being told what to do
@The heathen that is exactly 💯 on point
What if I'm part African?
....you're an Africaaaaaaaannnnnn....
Could be. Just remember, Swiss are africans. You must come from Mars or beyond to even be considered half-african.
You have the blood and identity of an African.
that means your all African!
One of the funkiest Reggae songs ever written. Brilliant...

@***** hey gilbert Sang, sorry for making you mad about this, I wrote it with the best intentions.
I know haile selassie said this, but than again bob marley used it in his song, for the same purpose as haile selassie did.
It does not matter where it comes from... as long as you understand what it means.
But for the record you are right I was wrong,
Big up brother Tonksred300!
