You don`t know who you areLook back into your past, brotherLook back into your past, sisterLook back into your past, sisterLook back into your past, brother[Afrika]My forefather was a kingHe wore fat gold chains and fat ruby ringsNobody believes this to be trueMaybe it`s because my eyes ain`t blueYou ain`t gonna find it in your history bookCome here, young blood, and take a lookDig down deep inside this hard coverDon`t you know you was bought, brotherAll you read about is slaveryNever about the black man`s braveryYou look at the pictures and all they show isAfrikan people with bones in their nosesThat ain`t true, that`s a lieYou didn`t get that from my lemon pie[Mike G]Yeah, I cut class, I got a DCause History meant nothing to meExcept a definite napThat`s why I always sat in the backI`d talk to girls or write a rhymeCause I didn`t know (all times are black man`s times)When I was young my mama told me storiesOf black peoples` fight to bring us gloryI used to think these were stories to put me to sleepBut now I know mama`s talk wasn`t cheapI know Afrika`s for AfrikansAnd history`s the blood of every woman and man"Now I begin another search, the incredibly involvedThe incredibly difficult and incredibly frustrating searchTrying to pull together the history of a people"[Afrika]Page one, page two, page threeAnd still no signs of meYeah, so I looked into the table of contentsThey wrote a little thing about us in the projectsOnly history we make is if we kill somebodyRape somebody, but other than that we`re nobodySpeaking like a Brother living in the JungleI know I was here first but I remain humble[Mike G]Now it`s time to rekindle the fireA tribe of young brothers with the eye of the tiger[Afrika]Acknowledge your own, we have a homePut on this earth to live and roam[Mike G]Christopher chose to exploreDISCOVERED AMERICA! Yeah, sure[Afrika]He thought the planet was squareTravelled many places, we already had been thereWe left tracks, backtrack backFirst civilisation, you know where that was found atLooking for the true black days of gloryThat`s history, that`s his story[Vinia Mojica 4x]The red`s for the blood and the black`s for the manThe green is the colour that stands for the land
