eat (east african trade) lyrics
by ilomilo
[Verse]
Behold, an aristocracy
If you guessed, we're talking Swahili
Trading pottery and ivory
Swahili Coast is a sight worth a see
Islamic rule and Christianity
Separate rulers, it's a unanimous sea
Architecture built with stone
Using bricks to make a home
From Mombasa to Kilwa
Modern-day Kenya and Somalia
A Sultanate in Zanzibar
Coral rock makes a mosque
That reaches the stars
Come one, come all
Arabs and Persians, a good call
Uganda's full of trustworthy traders
Islamic influences to make us greater
Swahili trade hub, observe the hubbub
