Look back into your past, brother
Look back into your past, sister
Look back into your past, sister
Look back into your past, brother

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
