I'm sorry man I gotta say something
I have never been ashamed about my history
And the fact that yall constantly denounce it's killing me
We had everything we needed that's why yall did burglery
To this day yall 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 s***
Got em thinking we was better off in chains and on ships
So lemme question the authority who put them on that mix

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 yall was still in the caves
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 vision

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
Ruled Europe for 800 years
Made it to America first gold tipped spears
Illteracy high till the Moors appeared
Called our archers when your militarys 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
You see I know it takes a lot for you to admit that we were alive
And thriving going decades on decades giving the how to
Your eurocentric having tail could go without you
Sign dotted line

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
Start of mankind but they teach the Greek and 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

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 still in the caves
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 vision

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 got a plus
Oldest megalithic site, Adam calander
Invented steel thank us for your calibers, got ambassadors
Ancient Aksum trading occurred
It's absurd 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

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 still in the caves
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 vision

You gotta clue
You knew a few
Our time is due
Matter fact, I know you do
