Lyrics
Descendants of the Maafa
How much a dollar cost?
They tell us, "stop talking bout slavery"
But everyday we get reminders bout the holocaust
Ain't that a stringy haired sun dodger?!?
No Justice, No peace
riding with one in the noggin'
Just me & my nagas
You wanna know what's under the sheet of a klansmen?
Rednecks Politicians who seek to cease the advancement
The oppressed will always believe the worst about themselves
You believe in myths that tell you that you cursed and no one else
In the wilds of North Amerikkka
you gotta save your self
Allah supplied lessons that made me magnetic
Omowale taught me that the mind is a weapon
Garvey taught me
One God, One Aim, in the vision
it was destined (x2)
I'm simply a student of my culture
Invoking ancestral spirits at Sankofa
You can't have progress with no motion
Peace to my kin that chose the ocean
I learned from the past while moving forward
towards the source of Gnosis
So as I spread the vocals from coast to coast
It's only a matter of time before they realize
The shackles & chains have been broken
