African Ancestry and Heritage

OF YOU AND ME

The manipulation of the Biblical Inscription gave birth to discrimination

And the case; the case is that the black race is the birth place of civilization

The Greeks called us Ethiopians, the Hebrew called us Cushites

And the whites sought to ignite

And see to the demise of the black minds with all their might

O yes they came

And with their marvelous oils and water colors of the painter’s brush

We witnessed the re birth of Jesus

They brought along the lies of the light

As darkness became bright

And black turned to white

Oppression was their delight

And so...so we must fight to emancipate our minds

They were kings in the days of old

Ramses was a powerful Pharaoh many years ago

But stood not alone

Yet he was one of us

Adam and Eve, David and James

These are names that had the black blood flowing through their veins

Just like you and I

Martin and Malcolm never saw eye to eye

They moved at different paces

But both were murdered for the liberation of the black races

Justice became an unrealistic reality

And the rickety Roman rules rigged our sanity

With their false Biblical absurdities

So when they ask, tell them we came from no hole

They need to be told that though we were sold

And our bones became cold with the loads of logs and lies

Our identity lies within the history of humanity

History that dates back in memory

Memory of Adam and Eve

Martin and Malcolm

Of you and me.
