1
When I left to go Africa people said....
2
Don't come back with no with craft on your head
3
I just left the comment blank and kept my cool
4
Because they only said what they was taught in school
5
Brainwashed education
6
Of our nation
7
Publicized in its prime
8
To be behind the time
9
Adequate excuse
10
And all verbal abuse
11
Our history is a mystery
12
So what's the use???
13
Sala mali cume,mali cume salaam
14
Sala mali cume,mali cume salaam
15
Sala mali cume,mali cume salaam
16
Now I took me a trip to Africa
17
A seven hour flight from America
18
I got off the plane and what did I see
19
But some brothers and sisters who look like me
20
Warm greetings,hello,hi's
21
Alot of mosquitos and a whole lot of flys
22
Young ones try to persuade you to buy
23
To feed their families so no one dies
24
Of hunger,shelter,clothes and starvation
25
In the ghetto it's the same situation
26
Over big water so far I roam
27
To find my way back home
28
To find my way back home
29
To find my way back home
30
Now I woke up at two in the afternoon
31
In the middle of December which felt like June
32
I got on the bus,then all of us,caught a boat
33
As we listened to the jams we wrote
34
As the boat stayed afloat and we was close to shore
35
I seem an Island one I felt I seem before
36
I was gonna ask the guide,but I forgot his name
37
So I said,"It ain't nuthin',all Islands are the same!"
38
Shame,who's the blame for that inside shame
39
Then I found out Goree Island was the name
40
Aim was to proceed with the mystery
41
Of the hidden,forbidden history
42
Goree Island was the last place the slaves was brought
43
Before taken to America,sold and bought
44
And I could feel it in the air when my feet touched land
45
To be the first rap group to rock Africans
46
Our distant brothers,great,great grandmothers
47
To one another,it's you I salute
48
Because a man without history is like a tree without Roots
49
So I say now....
50
Now I took me a trip to Africa
51
A seven hour flight from America
52
I got off the plane and what did I see
53
But some brothers and sisters who look like me
54
Warm greetings,hello,hi's
55
Alot of mosquitos and a whole lot of flys
56
Young ones try to persuade you to buy
57
To feed their families so no one dies
58
Of hunger,shelter,clothes and starvation
59
In the ghetto it's the same situation
60
Over big water so far I roam
61
To find my way back home
62
To find my way back home
63
To find my way back home
64
Salaam alaikum, alaikum salaam......
