[Verse 1: David Banner]
On January 17th 1961
I was beaten then tortured, then murdered by guns
(Who am I?) The firing squad, the CIA
The MI6, the Belgians were in on it
(Who am I?) Mubutu too tried to kill the cause by killing me
Silly see Because the flesh dies only to set the soul free
And it landed in this MC
Manifest destiny but only for the Africans
(Who am I?)The salt of the earth the father of man
They gave a cross then They took the land (Who am I?)
As long Belgians continued to mine
Then I guess the DRC was fine, No its not
(Who am I?) copper, and zinc tin and coal
And don't forget diamond and gold (Who am I?)
My body dip in acid
All for greed and I just wanted them to leave (Who am I?)
The United Nations turned their backs
While the Europeans cleansed the blacks (Who am I?)
The Soviet Union wanted to assist
But the USA just labeled me a communist (Who am I?)
Pan African, pro people
Prolific against evil
Whether it comes through war or peace
Please remember my name - it's Patrice
