Without confidence you are twice defeated in the race of life
But with confidence you have won before you have even started

Let me take into the halls of Timbuktu
When the teachers were you and the scholars were you
We mapped out the stars knew when the comets flew
Travelling the seven seas on a rendezvous
Way before Marco Polo and his crew
Even knew the sky made the sea blue
Before they found out the world was not flat 
We were building pyramids and practicing Maat
Using compasses and sketching out maps
Walking valleys and climbing snow caps
When white guys were in caves taking naps
We were throwing dice and we were playing craps
Reciting poetry and spitting out raps 
With a grateful bow as the audience claps
Back in the days when we praise Amen Ra
Back in the days when we raise by the law
Showing respect to our Maw and our Paw
Saying good morning to elders we saw
Before Genghis Khan was taking lands
Before Farrakhan was preaching Islam
As-salamu alaykum
We were saying peace unto you brother man
So why enslave my people and take my land
Take my treasures put them in Buckingham
In Vatican and Smithsonian
Told me i had no civilization 
We I and I is King of this creation
We were going to space before they went to the moon
Living in castles with a thousand rooms
By the river Nile waiting for a monsoon
The banks will overflow and the flowers will bloom
Harvest the crops April, May, June
Bury our Pharaohs in golden tombs 
And if you open this tomb your life will end soon
Like a curse from King Tut or Hatshepsut

So come follow me
Back into the past
Into the pyramids where spells are cast 
Where the Pharaoh's treasures are great and vast
Hieroglyphics on the wall forever last
I went and took up a mask 
Ask master, What's my task 
Hold a meditation and I hold my fast
And I hope one day to find my path
Conquer my desires, control my wrath
Jump in the Nile take a spiritual bath
Cause my master has the eye of the heart
See if i'm wise or just playing smart
I must be humble to develop my art
From the book of the dead I will never depart
Know all the ways from the end to the start
Read my books watch people's looks
Penny their motives they could be crooks
Lurking around, on the low down
But I know they are coming cause I hear the drum sound
From deep in the jungle where the Tigers live
Where yin and yang meet and we live positive
Where yin and yang meet and we live positive
Where yin and yang meet and we live, up

So without confidence you are twice defeated in the race of life
But with confidence you have won before you have even started
The Right Honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey
Jamaica's first National Hero
Don't forget it
Ah
