I am African
Because of my umbilical core that is buried under the majestic mountains of Africa all the way from Ga Matlala 
I am African 
Not because of my race 
But because my heart is shaped like a question just like Africa
I am African 
Not because I live here
But because of the air that I breathe 
From the majestic mountains that surround me 
The air led me 
The air is the woman that I am becoming as I grow up
The air is who I am 
I am African
