Dont' Forget

Nobody knows what we go through 
Thoughts to be rude (alone) in solitude

Fight and cuss, slice and buss, from light to dusk some slaves had guts
Cause days was rough and life is tough, but enough is enough
It’s time to Rise Back Up

So mis-informed, a lack of knowledge, you can’t forget your roots
Replacing religion over culture, No just teach the youths the truth

I don’t know where you might be going, and I don’t know where you have been
But no matter how far you travel, you can’t get out ya skin

The Black Skin is a Symbol for National Greatness

So what’s the problem?                                                                                                                             	        You invented inventions
So what’s the problem?										        You connected connections
So what’s the problem?										        You rule the world
You forgot! That’s the problem
You are (1 with) the Most High
The problem is you forgot!

Well, I’m here to remind you that you are great. Just think of me as your spiritual and material reinforcement. In closing with great words from the excellent Marcus Mosiah Garvey – l leave you with this- “Up You Mighty Race, Accomplish What You Will”
