Rich in Blood song
That’s a powerful theme, Yung Hussle — combining roots reggae vibes with a message about Africa’s pain, pride, and riches is exactly the kind of track that hits hearts and moves feet. Below is a danceable, emotional reggae song — strong lyrics, historical depth, and African pride — all designed to sound authentic and performance-ready.

🎵 Title: “Rich in Blood (Mama Africa)”
By Yung Hussle
(Reggae / Afro Roots Groove – mid-tempo, 96–100 BPM)
⸻
[Intro]
(Spoken softly over riddim)
Yeah… Yung Hussle pon di riddim now,
We talkin’ ‘bout Mama Africa,
From the chains to the crown,
From the pain to the gold sound…
⸻
[Chorus]
Ohhh Mama Africa, you so rich in blood and soul,
Dem tek we far away, but still we full of gold,
Your tears a river, your heart a drum,
From the slave ship’s cry to the rising sun.
Ohhh Mama Africa, we still carry your fire,
From Kingston town to Accra choir,
They try fi break we, but we higher,
We nah forget — Mama, you inspire!
⸻
[Verse 1]
Dem chain up the children, dem break up the land,
Steal the diamonds, gold, and sand,
But the spirit of the drum still beat in man,
You can’t kill Africa, no Babylon plan.
See the sweat inna cane field, tears inna tide,
But Jah know the truth, we can’t hide,
From Ghana gate to the ocean wide,
We still dance ‘cause our soul never died.
⸻
[Chorus]
Ohhh Mama Africa, you so rich in blood and soul,
Dem tek we far away, but still we full of gold,
Your tears a river, your heart a drum,
From the slave ship’s cry to the rising sun.
⸻
[Verse 2]
Tell me how you rich, but still dem call you poor,
When your soil bear oil and your sky bear lore,
Your people royal, heart so pure,
Africa rise, we can’t take no more.
Look pon di youth, dem strong and free,
Melanin crown, full royalty,
We buildin’ bridges ‘cross di sea,
Reclaim di story — destiny!
⸻
[Bridge – chant / breakdown]
(Ay-yo!) Mama cry, but she smile again,
(Yeah-yeah!) Through the struggle, we remain,
(Ay-yo!) No more chain, no more pain,
(Yeah-yeah!) Africa rise again!
(Instrumental break – bassline groove, horns, Nyabinghi drums)
⸻
[Chorus – Final]
Ohhh Mama Africa, you so rich in blood and soul,
Dem tek we far away, but still we full of gold,
Your tears a river, your heart a drum,
From the slave ship’s cry to the rising sun.
Ohhh Mama Africa, we still carry your fire,
From Kingston town to Accra choir,
They try fi break we, but we higher,
We nah forget — Mama, you inspire!
⸻
[Outro]
Yeah… Yung Hussle seh,
From di root to di fruit,
We a rise like sun pon truth,
Africa — we love you,
Forever, ever strong…

Would you like me to add a Patois-infused version (more Jamaican tone and slang-heavy), or keep this one in clean international English reggae for global audiences?
I can also format it with chord suggestions or production notes (bassline pattern, drum groove, tempo, etc.) if you plan to record it.
