[Verse One]
I know this girl whose name is Lola
She lives in a country called Angola
Her president's name is Dos Santos
And a man named Savimbi's playin him too close
She says, "Hey brother, my country's in a war, we are
Fighting rebels backed by Pretoria"
Upon hearin' this I was pretty upset
You know what? I went and told the Stet
And the Stet said
Yo, is Lola's last name Falana?
(No) Well, my cousin lives in Botswana
(Are they in war too?) Is a heel on a shoe?
My man, they know apartheid like I know you
The president is Masire, the capital Gaborone
Where the fight for freedom is a (universal tone)
So are you with it? (I'm in beyond a shadow of doubt)
So let's spell it on, spell it on, spell it on out
