WAKE UP
How can we conceal the idea of being a powerful race
When the identity of our ancestors is right in our face?
We need to look in the mirror and see who we are;
The reflection that stares back shouldn't leave you scared.
It should open your consciousness and energize your mind
To a point of gravitation with endless time.
To teach our young generation to have knowledge, not fear,
To not be bound by the shackles for another thousand years.
Let's deliver the message that we have enclosed;
Let's stop having these meetings behind closed doors.
Let's get out and be seen, send a powerful message;
Let's teach the word to give hope and blessings.
So don't sit back and listen with a stone foot in place,
Let's unite in unity to stare back face to face.
