queen of the nile,
Alkebulan is our motherland,
from the great savanah in africa,
our ancestors came to the amerikkkas,
there,
they intermingled with the indigenous peoples,

your strength,is our guidance,
your wisdom, is our pillar,
and in that pillar is our justice,
like the great lions of alkebulan,
mumia abul jamal,lumumba and
kwame nkhruma,
in the heart land of amerikkka
you fight like a zulu,
like the spirit of tupac amaru,
guided by our ancestors
like steven biko and
walter sizulu,

soar afrikan lioness!
and shake the foundations of babylon
coz their time has come!
and only to the creator we will answer
from brazil,carribean all the way to amerika,
we are the heartbeat ofa nation,
breakin in cold sweats,
waiting and exhailin,
waiting for the pretty much anticipated
emancipation!

so...
they have in shackles and chains
warrior aaron patterson
and warrior keneth foster jr,
like they did garry graham aka shaka sankofa
in texas death row,
once again,they have struck anotha blow,

we will come in black fatigues,
the black guerillaz,
like the BLA,ready to rescue
ASSATA,
tear down this fuckin prisom walls,
when i think about you,
i neva give the fight,
even though in the coldest night,
i know you are there and iam here,
i know,i have a friend for life,
in you and many others,my friend
i find tremendous inspiration,
and i tell myself
like brother tupac said
"keep ya head up"
i know we be aight
