Текст (слова) песни: Jungle Brothers f Vinia Mojica - Acknowledge Your Own History

 
You don`t know who you are 
Look back into your past, brother 
Look back into your past, sister 
Look back into your past, sister 
Look back into your past, brother 
 
[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 
Dig down deep inside this hard cover 
Don`t you know you was bought, brother 
All you read about is slavery 
Never about the black man`s bravery 
You look at the pictures and all they show is 
Afrikan people with bones in their noses 
That ain`t true, that`s a lie 
You didn`t get that from my lemon pie 
 
[Mike G] 
Yeah, I cut class, I got a D 
Cause History meant nothing to me 
Except a definite nap 
That`s why I always sat in the back 
I`d talk to girls or write a rhyme 
Cause I didn`t know (all times are black man`s times) 
When I was young my mama told me stories 
Of black peoples` fight to bring us glory 
I used to think these were stories to put me to sleep 
But now I know mama`s talk wasn`t cheap 
I know Afrika`s for Afrikans 
And history`s the blood of every woman and man 
 
"Now I begin another search, the incredibly involved 
The incredibly difficult and incredibly frustrating search 
Trying to pull together the history of a people" 
 
[Afrika] 
Page one, page two, page three 
And still no signs of me 
Yeah, so I looked into the table of contents 
They wrote a little thing about us in the projects 
Only history we make is if we kill somebody 
Rape somebody, but other than that we`re nobody 
Speaking like a Brother living in the Jungle 
I know I was here first but I remain humble 
 
[Mike G] 
Now it`s time to rekindle the fire 
A tribe of young brothers with the eye of the tiger 
 
[Afrika] 
Acknowledge your own, we have a home 
Put on this earth to live and roam 
 
[Mike G] 
Christopher chose to explore 
DISCOVERED AMERICA! Yeah, sure 
 
[Afrika] 
He thought the planet was square 
Travelled many places, we already had been there 
We left tracks, backtrack back 
First civilisation, you know where that was found at 
Looking for the true black days of glory 
That`s history, that`s his story 
 
[Vinia Mojica 4x] 
The red`s for the blood and the black`s for the man 
The green is the colour that stands for the land
