(Intro) I’m sorry man.. I gotta say something
(Verse #1) I ain’t never been ashamed about my history And the fact that y’all constantly denounce it it’s killing me, We had everything we needed that’s why y’all did Burglery, To this day y’all breaking noses like we can’t see that’s a brother please colonization had more than a grip, Yall got our own people even thinking we wasn’t sh- ,Got em thinking we was better off in chains and on ships, So lemme question the authority who put em on that mix huh?
(#1 Chorus) Who dragged you out the dark ages? Who was lost more than Vеgas? Who’s home to most gold Mansa musa to your wages? Who was building pyramids while y’all was in thе caves-es? The deeper you dig the blacker it get, More melanin you got the most human you is and our work ain’t in the dead no Osiris, We’re the living image of our ancestors vis!
(Verse #2) Vibrant glands wide, meant to have a third eye, Hair kinky and it rides, to the beat what I say I? Most diverse in our tribes, most colorful designs, So the question that it drives.. Why’s it dull on this side? And we always had the art but now they call it graffiti, From Sahara to Nubia all the way down to Swahili, Made our mark across the globe we should have our own treaty, Most beautiful title black woman Nefertiti uh, Ruled Europe for 800 years, Made it to America first gold tipped spears, Illteracy high till the moors appeared, called our archers when ya military’s getting smeared and I know it ain’t in text but just give it some thought, since our voices were indocted, We had the docs they brought the rocks, universities set on fire so our minds we can’t unlock, demonized our old systems just to turn around and mock uh
(Talking part) Ya see.. I know it takes a lot for you to admit that we were alive & thriving going decades on decades giving the how to.. Your Eurocentric having tail could go without you ha Sign.. dotted line
(Verse #3) Pro-choice but I argue when infos conceived, All them So called scholars they just cover up the seeds, Can’t believe our capability so Egyptology, separating North Africa taking all the credit geesh, Start of mankind but they teach the Greek & Roman time, Ruins in zimbabawe, Tanzania’s in mind, Kush kingdom in its prime made you wanna mine, Mali empire had so much money value declined!
(#2 Chorus) Who dragged you out the dark ages? Who was lost more than Vegas? Who’s home to most gold Mansa musa to your wages? Who was building pyramids while y’all was in the caves-es? The deeper you dig the blacker it get, More melanin you got the most human you is and our work ain’t in the dead no Osiris, We’re the living image of our ancestors vis!
(Verse #4) Worlds first genius Imhotep, scribe, doctor and architect, First stone complex, Saqarra he gotta step, first Math in effect and the markings all correct, lembombo bone see the scratches and the carvings they reflect-yes! So advanced philosophers study us Pythagoras, scramble for Africa everybody wanna bite of us, second biggest landmass for a reason yeah the size a plus, carrying the most diamonds and platinums gotta a-plus, oldest megalithic site…..Adam calander, invented steel thank us…for your calibers- got ambassadors, ancient Aksum trading occurred, it’s ab-surd that now the narrative is stirred, See our impact to this day turn around a dollar bill, Hieroglyphics now emojis today- ima spill, “History’s in the past what’s the big deal?”, If that’s the case then how come ours always gotta get the shield? Huh?
(#3 Chorus) Who dragged you out the dark ages? Who was lost more than Vegas? Who’s home to most gold Mansa musa to your wages? Who was building pyramids while y’all was in the caves-es? The deeper you dig the blacker it get, More melanin you got the most human you is and our work ain’t in the dead no Osiris, We’re the living image of our ancestors vis!
(Outro) You gotta clue, you know a few, our time is due, matter fact.. I know you do!
