REPARATIONS Lyrics by C.Nichole

PAN AFRICAN THINK TANK VOL. 1

2021

[Chorus]
I’ma need, need that back
All that land, and that cash
I’ma need, need that back
See my face, me no laugh
I’ma need, need that back
All the land, and the cash
Crops and that livestock too
Leave the house on the
Property move
I’ma need, need that back
See my face, me no laugh
Gold, ivory, no to the rum
Gimme, gimme, gimmie, gimme, gimmie some

[Verse 1]
Shipped us from our own land
Built a country and gave us nothin’
Man, damn

[B-Section 1]
Ya’ll say, that was, your ancestors not you
Ok, lets trade, retroact that privilege today
You can pull yourselves up by your bootstraps right?
We’ll be waiting for to see that it’s a façade, it’s a lie

[Chorus]
I’ma need, need that back
All that land, and that cash
I’ma need, need that back
See my face, me no laugh
I’ma need, need that back
All the land, and the cash
Crops and that livestock too
Leave the house on the
Property move
I’ma need, need that back
See my face, me no laugh
Gold, ivory, no to the rum
Gimme, gimme, gimmie, gimme, gimmie some

[Verse 2]
Sold us as a part of your trade
Greedy for money, it still burdens Africa today
Wait

[B-Section 2]
Oh ya’ll, couldn’t think, we wasn’t gon’ acknowledge the link
Mahogany, brass, guns, rum, beads was our worth we see
Now ya’ll want us back to help the economy
But the power we coulda had, if we never were forced to leave

[Chorus]
I’ma need, need that back
All that land, and that cash
I’ma need, need that back
See my face, me no laugh
I’ma need, need that back
All the land, and the cash
Crops and that livestock too
Leave the house on the
Property move
I’ma need, need that back
See my face, me no laugh
Gold, ivory, no to the rum
Gimme, gimme, gimmie, gimme, gimmie some

[Bridge]
We got some things to talk about don’t be silent now
Tryna get our fair cut so what’s up
We built countries for free
Then gave us scraps to eat
Still discriminatory
Then tell us for no reason we’re angry, see

[Outro]
I’ma need, need that back
All that land, and that cash
I’ma need, need that back
See my face, me no laugh

[Ad-Libs]
We got some things to talk about
We got some things to talk about
