Do you know who you are?
What's your name?
Sometime you wonder why?
And wonder how?
Don't be alone, just say he conquers
Even if you choose or not to find
Through all the bullshit
With no dirty shoes
Finding the truth
Is not hard to figure out your life
Take your time and let it rain on you
Blessings from mother earth are always
Always true
Take your time and meditate on you
Do you know who you are?
What is your name? what is your worth?
My child is like the words of this ancient mythology
The wisdom I disperse in this verse, no apology
Memorise to keep you from evil mythology
For you your equality
See for generations we perpetrated psychology
Divide and conquer each other we relish policy
We cannot build each other up?
How would you build economy
How you think is how you are
Its just basic neurology
So please recite the words of this ancient mythology
The wisdom I disperse in this verse, no apology
Do you realise the Negros a hunted commodity
Look around you Nigga, observe your ecology
See they gon try to tell you it's in your biology
They gon tell you niggas technology
That's why we have to re-write our anthropology
Until they acknowledge me follow me into knowledge tree
Take your time and let it rain on you
Blessings from mother earth are always
Always true
Take your time and meditate on you
Do you know who you are?
What is your name? what is your worth?
Yeah, tell me the value of a free born Nubian
In all his habitation death will keep pursuing em
Black is beautiful is a truism or is it?
Generation raised just to ruin it, revisit
Shipped across the seas or be conquered, the options
Labouring the mind to be shackled for autions
Whatever path you take, your existence is function
Centuries later things will still be the same with caution
Blackman meditatee on your pain
Hesitate in the rain
Let it wash you of the curse
And immerse in the Earth
Let your words be of worth
Have a thirst for the truth
Find protection for youth
Niggas open your wing
Let your woman be king
Let your children be dreams
Then you find em the means
Give them reasons to smile
Maybe last for a while
As I a better future my child
Take your time and let it rain on you
Blessings from mother earth are always
Always true
Take your time and meditate on you
We got two major issues
And identity crisis and psychological homelessness
We hate our Africanity
Even within the Black consciousness community we are still
Anti-African because deep down within our subconscious
We were all conditioned by the same superstructure that
Made us feel that Africa wasn't anything worth claiming
Our problem is totally mental, we are a trillion dollar people
We got all the degrees we need
All the expertise but you know what we're
Lacking? That cultural commitment to ourselves
Until we hate racism
More than we hate each other nothing is going to change
It was a learning process for me to
Understand that the world does hate you, yes
The world discriminates
The world is full of prejudice and bigotry and racism and hatred it's real, I completely agree with you and that's the sort of explicit world against youthere's a more insidious world against you which I
Think is to do with socialisation process
The expectation of men to be the strong one is a hell of an expectation, it's actually terrible
Because what do you do with all the real human vulnerability?
And then it goes back to what
We started off talking about
You have to become the superhero
The big muscle man and you aren't
You're just a person
Some of you are strong and some of you is weak
You're just a person
And a full person has all the vulnerability in
The world, We need men's liberation
To liberate men from the shackles of having to be a warrior and a prophet and a soldier and a killer and a
Big strong muscle man to just be a person
