You don't know who you are   Look back into your past, brother   Look back into your past, sister   Look back into your past, sister   Look back into your past, brother      [Afrika]   My forefather was a king   He wore fat gold chains and fat ruby rings   Nobody believes this to be true   Maybe it's because my eyes ain't blue   You ain't gonna find it in your history book   Come here, young blood, and take a look   Dig down deep inside this hard cover   Don't you know you was bought, brother   All you read about is slavery   Never about the black man's bravery   You look at the pictures and all they show is   Afrikan people with bones in their noses   That ain't true, that's a lie   You didn't get that from my lemon pie      [Mike G]   Yeah, I cut class, I got a D   Cause History meant nothing to me   Except a definite nap   That's why I always sat in the back   I'd talk to girls or write a rhyme   Cause I didn't know (all times are black man's times)   When I was young my mama told me stories   Of black peoples' fight to bring us glory   I used to think these were stories to put me to sleep   But now I know mama's talk wasn't cheap   I know Afrika's for Afrikans   And history's the blood of every woman and man      "Now I begin another search, the incredibly involved   The incredibly difficult and incredibly frustrating search   Trying to pull together the history of a people"      [Afrika]   Page one, page two, page three   And still no signs of me   Yeah, so I looked into the table of contents   They wrote a little thing about us in the projects   Only history we make is if we kill somebody   Rape somebody, but other than that we're nobody   Speaking like a Brother living in the Jungle   I know I was here first but I remain humble      [Mike G]   Now it's time to rekindle the fire   A tribe of young brothers with the eye of the tiger      [Afrika]   Acknowledge your own, we have a home   Put on this earth to live and roam      [Mike G]   Christopher chose to explore   DISCOVERED AMERICA! Yeah, sure      [Afrika]   He thought the planet was square   Travelled many places, we already had been there   We left tracks, backtrack back   First civilisation, you know where that was found at   Looking for the true black days of glory   That's history, that's his story      [Vinia Mojica 4x]   The red's for the blood and the black's for the man   The green is the colour that stands for the land
