What is an african-american, 
Cause if you a black, you're African and then done  
Amerigo Vespucci, I ___ he done 
And that’s where the name America come from 
Overstand 
he ones responsibles for the death of out that Indians and 
Africans, they raped our continent 
Out this contest is a contest 
Trading the greatest, 
Must valuable treasure, the human tool 
And you disrespect, you make all I soul 
And so you bring a judgment pon owna soul 
And we longing to go back home

They called up this a land of opportunity 
But opportunity fe who you are we 
Without a majority of minority what could you be 
You only need us here to do your laboring 
In the sun toiling  
How great could a blood city be 
When you did not earn your greatness fairly 
You thieve all your signs and symbols from Egypt 
Kemet, Abyssinia, India or Tibet 
Still we can forget
