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.
