Sugar Cane |
History takes me back to the basement of our culture |
I can’t hide myself anymore |
Beneath this so-called of civilized men |
The sands of time is what I’ve been made with |
The hand of the past may help to lay back relax |
If we check it now. |
And what you’ve got to do is just take care of |
That inner black beauty that shines through |
Your melanine tone |
And take care of everything you got visible or invisible. |
For not so long ago they didn’t love none of us |
At all. |
I’d like to tell you something |
It’s all about my own thing |
Now I know what is sweet |
I know what is sweet as sugar cane |
And the promises they made at these times |
Of struggle and fight must provide change in your mind. |
For life is for lore |
All praises are for the Lords. |
So the souls descending from the |
Tribe of Atkaptah will have to |
Reminisce and unified on strong. |
So don’t go dreamin' on the edge of their land |
Oh no! |
No! |
You’ll go flyin' high, you’ll go too high |
And now for the rest, let’s remind the pledge: |
Each time you’ll taste the fruit of the cane |
Don’t forget the whip, the field, their sweat. |
(So this heritage will be as sweet as sugar cane) |
I’d like to tell you something |
It’s all about my own thing |
Now I know what is sweet |
I know what is sweet as sugar cane |
