Scholars

Why is my identity a secret What language did my fore fathers speak Before the time of Babylon Who was I I believe I was classified a slave Scholars of this earth you rob me Denied me of my birth Truth concealed lies told Sold to the highest bidder Just to fill your pockets with gold Scholars I ask Why is my identity still top secret These lies seem to have worth Four hundred years of slavery Truth erased images,artifacts hidden and buried Scholars of this earth Why not let the truth be told Who am I They say, I am a ***** I am not the son or daughter of Ham I think thats great I am an Israelite A true *****.
