A Black Man With a White God

I have been a dark skin man with a white god For so long l was groomed In another man's faith The sufferance of time I bared with my teeth out Beautifying the face of pains With false smiles They came in peace So they say with a meek tone In the name of religion and for the sake of their god Religion, you mocker of wisdom Like fools we followed Like sheep led by shepherds Humble, to the slaughter room They dimmed the light of our future and burn our reasoning to ashes We abandoned our Own trade to find gain in a blind man's business O Africa! You forsaken culture Your gods bleeds out Daily the ancestors calls Retrace your steps and return home Why pray in the tongue of the Arabs And embrace the Jewish laws You prostitute your sacred ground With the Worship of a foreign god What shall it profit you To lose your culture and gain the world Haven't you realize yet That religion is no solution to the world
