Black In Time












Let`s go black in time
Come with me black to history
Black to the mother land
Where we rightfully belong
Black in time before the Europeans
Tried to whitewash our
Skins and minds
Black to the kingdom and ancestry
Black, way black before slavery

Black am I
Not just the color of my skin
The pupil of my eyes or the hair on my head
But black at heart, black in my thinking
And black in my thoughts

Black in time
Black my story, every sentence, every line
Black every rhythm and every rhyme
Black the days on their slave ships
Heading across the ocean lines
Black the shackles and the chains
Black the whips that cut our veins
Black the blood that stained the lands
Black the heart of every whiteman
Black the husbands and the wives
Black the circumstances which changed our lives
Black the mother and the father
Black the separation from each other

Black, black, black, black
Black the struggles and the fights
Black the system which took away
our rights
Black the midnights we tried to make
our run
Black the rope on the tree that hung the ones
Who wish to be free

Black, black, black, black
Let`s go black and turn the world around
Let`s take black our civilization
Every continent and every nation
Let`s take black the white man`s dominion
Let`s take black our rightful rulership
No more subjection under
The whiteman`s dictatorship
Let`s black out the pages
of the white man`s days
And attribute the praises
to the black liberal race

Black my eyes and the things they see
Black the vision of those who preceded me
Black Marcus, Selassie and Mandela
Black Obama and the Christ
Black the life I live because of their sacrifice

Obama for President

 
Obama for president! Obama for president!
The perfect White House has got
A new black resident

Obama we say, Obama all the way
Thank you America for voting
Obama today

This day in history
We have gained victory
How did a black man do it?
It`s still a mystery

Triumph at last
Our fears have passed
No more racial divide
Color or class

It was ordained
It`s no accident, that today
Barack Obama, an African-American
Is crowned president

Join the cheer, celebrate the fun
Open your eyes, a new era has begun

Our forefathers have smiled upon you
Because they see
What you have set out to do

To bring the change so badly needed
And to heed the cry of those
Who so desperately pleaded

Your steps are paved with gold
You have fulfilled the dreams
Of those from old
You brought forth a legacy
For future generations to behold

Obama for president! Obama for president!
The perfect White House has got
A new black resident
