[picture this] - a proud people giving birth to society
philosophers and doctors and scholars of astronomy
artisans and masterbuilders erecting monuments
civilized & organized - the most dominant
gene - never lacking a fraction of self esteem
the chosen kings and queens of hills - valleys and streams
indeed - a strong nubian race - divine genesis
the sun - moon - planets and stars designed witnesses
of - the fathers love - represented in form
and fashion - a passion of the knowledge thats born
everlasting - the eternal unconquered seeds of heaven
the wisdom of the elders - the manna thats unleavened
a brethren in full unity - coexisting beautifully
each man his brothers keeper - uplifting whole communities
the center of the u.n.i.-verse - the foundation
the blueprint for the future - the lost but found nation [it's on]

eyes open - dismantle these lies spoken
restore the path broken - empower the God chosen [it's on]
keep movin - the facts we keep proving
too strong to keep losing - defeat were re-fusing [it's on]
this true knowledge - of self - divine power is felt
ready to help - control the motherlands wealth [it's on]
the resources - defining this worlds courses
begin - what we have been- defend it with armed forces [come on]

[picture this] a ship sailing against prevailing winds
carrying women and children - chained to wounded men
a nation destroyed within - a victim of hidden sins
a people devoid of evil betrayed by former friends
descend - into the depths of an unclean heart
on a mission to kill the vision that was given at the start
of time - the first instance of an organized crime
vultures selling their culture and pride for dollar signs
and status - pure madness - love faded to blackness
the end of the beginning - within this middle passage
of souls - that now behold themselves as inferior
no power in the struggle - cuz God aint even hearing the
cries of those slaughtered - bought sold and bartered
by devils - unholy rebels - shedding blood of 4 fathers
and martyrs - that seek justice and peace and true equality
sons of the eternal now labeled as private property [it's true]

eyes open - dismantle these lies spoken
restore the path broken - empower the God chosen [it's on]
keep movin - the facts we keep proving
too strong to keep losing - defeat were re-fusing [it's on]
this true knowledge - of self - divine power is felt
ready to help - control the motherlands wealth [it's on]
the resources - defining this worlds courses
begin - what we have been- defend it with armed forces [come on]

[picture this] a crowd marching towards the nations capitol
tired of a system - dismissing them as a fractional
part - just 3/5ths - unworthy of recognition
seperate and unequal - living in poor conditions
wishing and just hoping / praying but still coping
with a life - full of strife by singing - dancing & joking
around / the bonfire - relying upon liars
to pull us up and out of a hell that they conspired
to build - a blue pill on a color blind screen
a vail where wickedness operates behind the scene
of hate with black faces - killas with brief cases
legislating death to benefit these sadist
that beat down and batter - souls torn and tattered
gathered and programmed to put their minds over matter
at hand - now ready to battle the advesary
and elevate their people by any means necessary [come on]

eyes open - dismantle these lies spoken
restore the path broken - empower the God chosen [it's on]
keep movin - the facts we keep proving
too strong to keep losing - defeat were re-fusing [it's on]
this true knowledge - of self - divine power is felt
ready to help - control the motherlands wealth [it's on]
the resources - defining this worlds courses
begin - what we have been- defend it with armed forces [come on]
