You don't know who you are[00:00:00]

Look back into your past brother[00:00:05]

Look back into your past sister[00:00:07]

You don't know who you are[00:00:09]

Look back into your past sister[00:00:13]

Look back into your past brother[00:00:14]

My forefather was a king[00:00:17]

He wore fat gold chains and fat ruby rings[00:00:19]

Nobody believes this to be true[00:00:22]

Maybe it's because my eyes ain't blue[00:00:23]

You ain't gonna find it in your history book[00:00:26]

Come here young blood and take a look[00:00:28]

You dig down deep inside this hard cover[00:00:30]

Don't you know you was bought brother [00:00:32]

All you read about is slavery[00:00:34]

Never about the black man's bravery[00:00:36]

You look at the pictures and all they show is[00:00:38]

African people with bones in their noses[00:00:41]

That ain't true that's a lie[00:00:43]

You didn't get that from my lemon pie[00:00:46]

Yeah I cut class I got a D[00:00:48]

'Cause history meant nothing to me[00:00:50]

Except a definite nap that's why I always sat in the back[00:00:52]

I'd talk to girls or write a rhyme 'cause I didn't know[00:00:56]

All times are black man's times[00:00:59]

When I was young my mama told me stories[00:01:01]

Of black peoples' fight to bring us glory[00:01:03]

I used to think these were stories to put me to sleep[00:01:05]

But now I know mama's talk wasn't cheap[00:01:07]

Now I know Afrika's for Afrikaans[00:01:09]

And history's the blood of every woman and man[00:01:10]

Now I begin another search the incredibly involved[00:01:13]

The incredibly difficult and incredibly frustrating search[00:01:18]

Now I begin another search the incredibly involved[00:01:21]

The incredibly difficult and incredibly frustrating search[00:01:24]

Trying to pull together the history of the people[00:01:27]

Page one page two page three[00:01:31]

And still no signs of me[00:01:33]

Yeah so I looked into the table of contents[00:01:35]

They wrote a little thing about us in the projects[00:01:37]

The only history we make is if we kill somebody[00:01:39]

Rape somebody but other than that we're nobody[00:01:41]

Speaking like a brother living in the jungle[00:01:44]

I know I was here first but I remain humble[00:01:46]

Now it's time to rekindle the fire[00:01:48]

A tribe of young brothers with the eye of the tiger[00:01:50]

Acknowledge your own we have a home[00:01:52]

Put on this earth to live and roam[00:01:54]

Christopher chose to explore[00:01:56]

Discovered America yeah sure[00:01:58]

He thought the planet was square[00:02:01]

Traveled many places but we already had been there[00:02:03]

We left tracks backtrack back[00:02:06]

First civilization you know where that was found at[00:02:07]

Looking for the true black days of glory[00:02:10]

But you read in history that's his story[00:02:12]

The red's for the blood and the black's for the man[00:02:13]

The green is the color that stands for the land[00:02:18]

The red's for the blood and the black's for the man[00:02:22]

The green is the color that stands for the land[00:02:26]

The red's for the blood and the black's for the man[00:02:31]

The green is the color that stands for the land[00:02:35]

The red's for the blood and the black's for the man[00:02:40]

The green is the color that stands for the land[00:02:43]
