	Honor me complexion with a badge pon me chest I'm Black without apology nuh feelings nuh suppressed Africa di motherland Understand di richest continent When me ready me a step me nah go fear nuh consequence See dem a come wid dem weakness, and di pretense in a frequence A nu press button a nuh weak fence King Marcus a come wid di defense. Black star line pon di sea when we a steam lef’ enemies Dem wah me reduce my lineage to a state of misery ‘LK an’ Malcolm get shot a give speech Look wah di civil rights country a preach Man a get shot cah dem wah fi be free A nuh fruit, is a man weh a hang from a tree Can’t move get stopped like clog artery Revolution spread like hot margarine ‘Cause I'm black why the border nuh free Affi pay weh me nav to foreign embassies Is it because I'm black Some a dem cyaa come on ya Pon di earth them a lef’ pure trauma Look wah dem do the African daughter Gone like a thief in the night with her mother King Leopold could never father Di ‘mount a African man weh him slaughter Come wid di Bible me nah tek yuh offer African spiritual systems me rather Chop me arm and leg and teeth true me black Turn roun’ wah me be patriot To your colonist country you miss me wid dat Think royal African a big idiot Napoleon a gwaan like him never come squat Pon di native land a Haiti we call dat Liberty equality di French dem a chat But dem never mean di ones in a France weh did black Is it because I'm black Rebel pon di baseline yuh know me ago done it Fire ever blaze kerosene in a me pocket Black power nav no outage Higher voltage nafi charge it Study everything about me history never lost it Focus pon di victory nuh study words like forfeit Say Ethiopians a burnt face then me a chocolate Preservation of the melanin me affi flaunt it Importance of your health and lineage so seek di knowledge History books deceiving make you feel incompetent Use them hand make fashion and nuh use African threads Denial of your origin is like a corset Illusion of exterior with internal garbage Original palaces and kingdoms found in Mali They never told us black is powerful and them nuh sorry Spare the whites, black soldiers a front line pon your army State the facts, give them kilos of the guilt to carry
