[Intro]
You don't know
Who you are
Look back into your past, brother
Look back into your past, sister
You don't know (Adventures in negro history)
Who you are
Look back into your past, sister
Look back into your past, brother
[Verse 1: Afrika]
My forefather was a king
He wore fat gold chains and fat ruby rings
Nobody believes this to be true
Maybe it's because my eyes ain't blue
You ain't gonna find it in your history book
Come here, young blood, and take a look
And dig down deep inside this hard cover
Don't you know that you was bought, brother?
All you read about is slavery
Never 'bout the Black man's bravery
You look at the pictures and all they show is
African people with bones in they noses
That ain't true, that's a lie
You didn't get that from my lemon pie
You don't know
Who you are
Look back into your past, brother
Look back into your past, sister
You don't know (Adventures in negro history)
Who you are
Look back into your past, sister
Look back into your past, brother
[Verse 1: Afrika]
