*SANKOFA*

I want to know
And I know you want to know
Everybody wants to know
What was the way of our forefathers before colonialism and the coming of the Babylon
They are not willing to give us answers but still we move on
To tell us the truth is like talking a meat from the mouth of a lion
The truth never hides from the seeker
We will move on till we discover
Thus, when we will tell a brother to tell another brother
We will not keep it to ourselves we will pass it on from generation to generation
We need to pass it on, no addition nor subtraction
Is time we base more on home education
Remember no one in power will teach the weak to have the ability to overtake power
Depending on the West for our history always makes us weaker
Is time we march on to the African teacher
We are already late so is time we move faster

Do you know about the letter of king Leopard
No, because you always hold on to the game pad
From the look of things everything is getting bad
Do you know about the laws of Ma’at
No, because you always have a bottle in your hand sitting under the summer hut
To read books is something of the past
Each time we come across something black we are fast to bypass
To us everything black is questionable but White is best
We say slavery is something of the past
Just because we not in shackles
Mentally we are nothing less than handicaps
Spiritually, mentally and economically we are vulnerables
Until we return to our root, we are like bamboos
Always waiting for the wind to direct us
In the church we are called sheep
Because we pray to Jesus whilst our ancestors are not asleep
No more ancestral veneration
Not to talk about pouring libation
We get something great
But unwilling to reach back to take
Sankofa is what we need to preach
The history is black so why the bleach
Let’s get the West out of the history class and begin to teach

*Sankofa and I repeat Sankofa*
