I Can Hear My Ancestors Calling Me

CATEGORY

life

I can hear my ancestors calling me

I can hear them saying do you fight to be free

Will you be quiet and sit in the back of the bus

Or will you make a difference before you join us

I can hear my ancestors talk from inside

I can hear them saying time’s not on my side

Will you simply go along with the status quo

Or will you change things on earth, before you go

I can hear my ancestors calling me

I can hear them say I’m part of their destiny

They had a dream, no time to make it reality

Time and life passed to me, they’re counting on me

I can hear my ancestors talk to my mind

I can hear them tell me to seek and I’ll find

What was stolen from them but still belongs to me

Look very deeply to regain my true legacy

I can hear my ancestors talk to my soul

I can hear them saying that they know my goal

Be-attitude, don’t keep it inside, let it shine

Don’t be afraid, under God, your mission’s divine

I can hear my ancestors talk through my genes

I can hear them in my DNA as it sings

Understand, let no man ever hold you down

You’re of God, through generations, you’ll always be around

I can hear my ancestors calling my name

I can hear them saying don’t make us ashamed

Be a man, stand tall, make us proud of you always

Fight for right on earth all of your days

I can hear my ancestors calling me

I can hear them saying do you fight to be free

Everyday, think about all the things that you do

For one day, you’ll be an ancestor too

I can hear my ancestors calling me

I can hear them saying do you fight to be free

Will you be quiet and sit in the back of the bus

Or will you make a difference… before you join us

WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE, AFRICA?

WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE, AFRICA?

Where are the people, who should have been building you

They’ve been taken to build the Americas

Generations of builders are gone, is this true

Yes, they’ve been building the rest of the world you know

While the building of Africa

Should have been going on

The men and women builders

Suddenly, they are all gone

Where are the cities, where are the streets

Where are the places where everyone meets

Where are the buildings, tell me my son

While you should have been building, what have you done

Where are the structures that ...

THE DNA WARP (Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid)

THE DNA WARP (Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid)

I HAD A TALK WITH MY ANCESTORS

THROUGH A DNA WARP QUITE VAST

THEY SAID NO MATTER WHAT

TO NEVER LET THEIR MEMORIES BE BURIED IN THE PAST

THEY TOLD ME TO REMEMBER THEM ALWAYS

LIKE YOUR ANCESTORS WHO LIVED IN THOSE TIMES

YOU BUILD MONUMENTS YOUR ANCESTORS

MONUMENTS WE’LL BUILD TO MINE

THEY SAID THEY MUST GET JUSTICE

ALTHOUGH THEY ARE NOW GONE

YOU WANT WHITES TO HAVE FIRST CLASS “REMEMBERSHIP”

BUT THEIR MEMORIES YOU WANT MOVED ON

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU

DON’T YOU UNDERSTAND EQU...

Welcome to My Country

WELCOME TO MY COUNTRY

Hello to all the immigrants

Welcome to my country

Glad to see you here

You’ve arrived upon my shores

For a better opportunity

And to run away from fear

Remember when you get here

When you see my face

You must not reject it

Yes this is my country

I’m the one who built it

My face - you will respect it

Unfortunately it’s necessary

That I must write these words

Because of some behavior

Some immigrants have come here

...

He sat down, He read

HE SAT DOWN, HE READ

HE SAT DOWN, READING A COPY OF TWO NATIONS, SEPARATE, HOSTILE AND UNEQUAL. BUT THEY DON'T WANT TO FACE IT. LYING TO THEMSELVES INSTEAD OF DEALING WITH THIS REALITY. HE THOUGHT ABOUT WHITE SUPREMACY IN A COUNTRY OF FREEDOM AND JUSTICE FOR ALL..HE SAW THAT HE, AND HIS PEOPLE WERE BEING PLAYED LIKE THE INVISIBLE MAN, ONLY SEEN WHEN WHITE AMERICA LOOKS FOR A SCAPEGOAT. THIS WAS THE SHADOW THAT SCARES ME, IN AMERICA AND AROUND THE WORLD.

EVERYDAY, YOU SEE AMERICA ATTEMPTING TO SQUIRM OUT OF A SITUATION IT SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN IN. DEGRADING EVERY RACE EXCEPT THE WHITE RACE, BUT IN REALITY DEGRADING THE WHITE RACE, BY DEGRADING OTHER RACES. BY INVENTING DERAGATORY NAMES FOR THEM LIKE RED SKINS, SPICS, WETBACKS. LIKE , A WORD WITH A STRANGE CAREER,

BUT IN THE END, ALL OF THEM WITH ONLY ...

THE PIMP

THE PIMP

HE WAS WALKING HOME FROM SCHOOL, ONLY 12 YEARS OLD

DIDN’T KNOW THAT CHICAGO COULD BE SO COLD

NOT THE WEATHER, BUT THE PEOPLE HE’D SEE OR MEET

IN THE DIRTY GRAY, STRESS CRACKED, CONCRETE CHICAGO STREETS

HE DREAMED ABOUT WHAT HE WOULD BE ONE DAY

WITH HIS BOOKS IN HIS HAND HE SAID “LIFE’S O.K.”

I’M GROWING UP, AND PEOPLE ARE COOL

BUT HE WAS ABOUT TO LEARN A LESSON OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL

HE COULD SEE OUT OF THE CORNER OF HIS LEFT EYE

A SLEEK, BEAUTIFUL, PINK LINCOLN CONTINENTAL DRIVE BY

WITH THE SUICIDE DOORS, WHITE WALLS AND SPOKED RIMS

HE SAID TO HIM...

I FIGHT THE FIGHTS

I FIGHT THE FIGHTS

THEY TOLD ME HATE WAS OVERE THERE

THEY SAID THAT WE MUST FIGHT IT

THEY SAID NO TIME FOR A DEBATE

THEY SAID THAT WE MUST RIGHT IT

THEY SAID YOU SACRIFICE YOUR LIFE

THEY SAID YOUR FIGHT IS NOBLE

THEY SAID GO SPREAD EQUALITY

THEY SAID TO SPREAD IT GLOBAL

THEY SAID TO GO TO VIETNAM

THEY SAID THEY NEED A HAND

THEY NEED OUR HELP TO FREE THEMSELVES

THEY WANT FREEDOM IN THE LAND

THEY SAID WE MUST GO TO IRAQ

THEY SAID INJUSTICE CONQUER

THEY TOLD ME WE MUST FIGHT THIS THING

I WANT YOU TO BE A BLACKMAN

I WANT YOU TO BE A BLACKMAN

I WAS IN HEAVEN AND GOD SAID TO ME

I’VE GOT AN ASSIGNMENT FOR YOU

IT’S GONNA BE DIFFICULT AND IT’S VOLUNTARY

IF YOU SAY NO I WON’T BLAME YOU

ONLY A FEW HAVE BEEN WILLING TO GO

THIS TASK IS FULL OF TREVAIL

BUT IF YOU ACCEPT IT I GUARANTEE

I’LL BE WITH YOU SO YOU CANNOT FAIL

I WANT YOU TO GO DOWN TO EARTH HE SAID

AND BE PART OF MY MASTER PLAN

A GREAT INJUSTICE YOU’LL HELP TO CORRECT

I WANT YOU TO BE A BLACKMAN

I SEND MY STRONGEST SAINTS AND ANGELS, HE SAID TO ME

SOUTHER HERITAGE

SOUTHERN HERITAGE

WHAT IS SOUTHERN HERITAGE TO ME

LYNCHING, SLAVERY AND MISERY

SUPPRESSION OF DIGNITY AND CITIZENSHIP

SUFFERING UNDER A MADMAN'S WHIP

WHAT IS SOUTHERN HERITAGE TO ME

WORKING MYSELF TO DEATH - FOR FREE

TOILING ON THE OLD PLANTATION

MY CONTRIBUTIONS HIDDEN FROM THE WORLD AND NATION

WHAT IS SOUTHERN HERITAGE TO ME

SOME WHITES WISHING ALL BLACKS WERE NOT FREE

AND BECAUSE OF GREED AND STORIES UNTRUE

I HEAR PEOPLE SAYING I'M BETTER THAN YOU

WHAT IS SOUTHERN HERITAGE TO ME

THE FLAGS OF A FOREIGN COUNTRY (CONFEDERATE FLAGS)

THE FLAGS OF A FOREIGN COUNTRY

THIS IS A COUNTRY OF FIFTY STATES

WE FLY OLD GLORY PROUD

WHEN THERE'S TALK OF LIBERTY AND FREEDOM

OLD GLORY SPEAKS IT LOUD

IT REPRESENTS AMERICA

A COUNTRY THAT IS SO GREAT

SO WHY DO THE FLAGS OF A FOREIGN COUNTRY

FLY OVER THE UNITED STATES

YOU SEE, SOME STATES TRIED TO SECEDE WHEN THEY COULDN’T GET THEIR WAY

THE COUNTRY WAS MOVING ON BUT THEY WANTED IT TO STAY

IN A SITUATION THE WAY IT SHOULD NOT BE

UNJUST AND UNEQUAL AND MINUS LIBERTY

THESE STATES HAD DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO BREAK

A NEW COUNTRY...

SOUTHERN HERITAGE

What is southern heritage to me

Lynching, slavery and misery

Suppression of dignity and citizenship

Suffering under a madman's whip

What is southern heritage to me

Working myself to death - for free

Toiling on the old plantation

My contributions hidden from the world and nation

What is southern heritage to me

500 Trillion Dollars of work for free

Half a Quadrillion Dollars whites stole from us

We slaved while they sat on their lazy butts

What is southern heritage to me

Some whites wishing all blacks were not free

And because of greed and stories u...
