My Destiny
My destiny lies beyond the Borders of Africa
My destiny lies beyond the majestic Maditerenean Sea
Not even I, can begin to define the greatness of my destiny
Because my destiny lies beyond the exotic animals of Africa
Mt destiny was planned,
iziHlwele ze (Indigenous language word for 'Ancestors of') Africa danced
Because my destiny was predstined in Mama Africa's bossom
while fighting for freedom my destiny was knitted in my mothers womb
My destiny is to Educate
And prejudice Iradicate
Our African rythm and curves will American girls intimidate
While leaving European men
unable to breathe and comprehend
That is where Wanelisa' destiny lies
IS THE WORLD READY FOR THE REVOLUTION THAT IS I?
