ima take this back some years bout now:
sittin on dirt eatin family dinner
prayin to muputa sayin yous a sinner
cheif calls out new people arrived
bring them into ur home and tell 'em to dine
outta no where pullin out knives
knives and rifles tauntin u in the line
trails of negro winding back through the village
cries of "heat up the iron, we can't have it chillin"
women and kids screamin about
burned flesh scent certainly amounts
gettin aboard backed 95 deep
in a space thats small enough for a coat to just keep
whips and gruel are on the main menu
sayin when we get there that theyll be amended
taught christianity and no more of ugana speech
english trade has just increased
two fold in the trade of innocence
after some years what was known was ignorance
respect people for who they are
not if theyre light or dark
now they livin in homes made of brick
some fro's thinkin about dashin quick
the leather wrapped around the backs of the people
made to get into ships smellin like urine from reefer
the scars still exist from the imprisonment
its like the holocaust of the first amendment
didn't apply to my people some 400 years back
the people stolen from their homes were labeled uneducated blacks
hate that term, no one is black
unless u dirty, theres some knowledge lacked
young whites thinkin they know their history
but its been erased to end white misery
but all the negros abound know about it
and when we see posers we cant even laugh at it
wearin jeans to the thighs, bling up high
sayin "yo my ***** we ghetto from masaai"
that pains me to see u walk uninformed
pullin out history was a mistake unreformed
many people think that slavery never happened
but i know it did, my ggrandma was in it
and vouches for lessons
in teaching about what happened to us
up to makin us ride back in the bus
mlk day aint no cele of birth
its the day we recognize our black firsts
kkk clans and neo nazi
they make me laugh more than paprazi
don't know that what they think is wrong
not hatin on anyone, but they dont sing a sweet song
now i got this off my mind, and informed y'all
when i see young whites lookin "thug" in the mall
i'll lay it straight and tell them the fact
cause even though their parents dont, they need to look back
and see what happened, and stop playin games
cause in our book, freedoms the new name
