Lyrics Sankofa - Stokley

Sankofa

Sankofa makes history a current event
It looks back but it’s always moving forward
I reflect as I walk ahead
Remember as I blaze a path
Precious jewels in my head
The future’s powered by my past
We trying to move ahead, move ahead
World can’t hold us back no more
Time to move ahead, move ahead
Move ahead and take what’s yours
Back ahead to find ur way
Back into ur destiny
Back ahead to find ur way
Let the winds of yesterday
Fly u thru the galaxy
Back ahead to find ur way
Sankofa
Harvest from a planted seed
Knowing the soil is the history
The strength under my wings
Are the spirits that came before me
We trying to get ahead, get ahead
World can’t hold us back no more
Time to move ahead, move ahead
Move ahead and take what’s yours
Create your reality
From ancient rivers
Flow all new streams
Sankofa
Back ahead to find ur way
Back into ur destiny
Back ahead to find ur way
Let the winds of yesterday
Fly u thru the galaxy
Back ahead to find ur way
Sankofa
It’s been loud it’s been dark
It’s been heavy it’s been cold
Then I turned around rediscovered
The stories of love we’re all told
Back ahead to find ur way
Back into ur destiny
Back ahead to find ur way
Let the winds of yesterday
Fly u thru the galaxy
Back ahead to find ur way
Sankofa
