IN THE LOVE WITH POSITIVE MUSIC

Greetings,
Two or three forms of art usually stand out in my mind when I think of how to bestly explain anything so hard to be understood by many. Music is one of them. Now I know some music/lyrics could carry a very negative meaning, racial slurs, violence against women, championing the acts of evil etc.I am not talking about such music. I am talking about the music that is pure and nothing but positive even if it reminds us of a dark history and a long way that is still a man's duty to walk it over. Below are the lyrics of the song titled Mama Africa by a Senegalese based in the US called Akon. If you love the continent, you will definetely love these lyrics and above all the video. Have fun and think no negative, you know better than that!

So much so much love
So much
So tell me can you feel it
So much so much yeah
Ya know
Make that visit
So much so much love
So much
Senegal can you feel it
So much so much yeah
So much
Qoow!

So much love to share
Pure blackness, oneness so rare
So much love to care
Let them know they're missin' out
Mama Africa
so much love to share
Sweet blackness, oneness be there
So much love to give
Let them know they missin' out
Sing again

A
This is for all the love
And the life took away
F
Don't forget we were born in trade
R
ripped from the land and shipped away
I
Is the inspiration we used to survive
C
Have to see it with your own cries
A
Don't play
Add it up and alright
Still ya don't know

Land is so gold and green
The place is so fresh and clean
And everyday I water my garden
Tell me if you feel it deep in your heart and
The space is so cool and nice
Visit once, guaranteed to visit twice
And if you just believe in the most high
I know you'll be alright

Mama Africa
So much love to share
Pure blackness, oneness so rare
So much love to give
And let them know they're missin'out
Mama Africa
So much love to share
Sweet blackness, oneness be there
So much love to give
Let them know they missin' out
Sing again

A
That's my favorite place when I need to get away
F
Must forget but we can't forget to pray
R
Like Lance ridin' on the runway
I
In my homeland and I'm feelin' so alive
C
Hear me chant Africa unite
A
Gonna accept the mass alright

Still ya don't know
Skin is so dark and brown
She lifts me right off the ground
But no ya not gonna see it on ya tv
So just listen up and believe me
Her trees have the only cure
Her love is so blue and pure
Had to kiss them troubles goodbye bye
No I don't have to lie mama Africa, unite

So much love to share
Pure blackness, oneness so rare
So much love to care
Let them know they're missin' out
Mama Africa
So much love to share
Sweet blackness, oneness be there
So much love to care
Let them know that they missin' out
Mama Africa

So much so much love
So much
So tell me can you feel it
So much so much care
So much
Make that visit
So much so much love
So much
Senegal can you feel it
So much so much care
so much
Ooow!
So much love to share
I just can't see how we livin' without it
So much love to care
Don't miss don't miss one moment about it
So much love to share
Resist this bliss yo I really doubt it
So much love to care
so much love
So much love to share (oh yeah)
Pure blackness, oneness so rare
So much love to care
Let them know they're missin' out
Feelin' it all the time
so much love to share
Sweet blackness, oneness be there
so much love to care
Let them know they're missin' out
Sing again
