You know who we are
You know who we are.
We're with you everyday,
We're from the ghettos, the project buildings
the neighborhoods with low incomes
You know who we are
We're considered in society as the minority,
yet we're the majority in poverty,
the 16th president constituted abomination
for the sins of those whose skin is pale,
still we're slaves to an American economy,
who blames our new generations
for the contamination of the crack sale,
You know who we are
We're college graduates,
we have High school degrees
we're doctors, lawyers, sergeons and teachers
we're diplomats, philosophers, ordained as preachers
We're American, African
players of Uncle Sam's past time
concieved in the Nile, raised along the Potomac
sold by our own, for collateral and material,
we're the New World's history,
workers of cotton gins, fighters for rights
You know who we are
Negroes, black,
beautiful as the dawnless night
