Hidden from me I was never told, no way!
Ancient prophets black and gold.
Like Daniel, King David and Abraham;
Israel were all black men.
I don't wanna lose you!
Japhet tried his best to erase,
The godly parts we played.
I says he came and took,
And never mention in his book.. so!

In Esau's chapter of history,
So little mention of you and me.
We rulers of kingdoms and dynasties,
Explored this Earth for centuries.
I don't wanna lose ya!
Phoenicians, Egyptians and the Moors,
Build civilisation, that's for sure.
Creators of the alphabet,
While the West illiterate.. yeh!

African heritage!
I don't wanna lose ya!
Oh, no!

Slavery came and took its toll,
In the name of John Bull Dog.
Said we turned our backs on God,
Lost the powers that we had.
Now our backs against the wall,
Ask ourselves about the fall.
Rise, rise, rise!
Hold on to your culture!
