I'm the one with the golden horn Speaking the truths of our forefathers buried under our feet Having died digging gold for the white man
I believe I was born to teach Teach the Afrikan child of their history For to face your future You must embrace your past
They labeled us the dark continent After they had forced us to dig up the glistening black coal beneath our homes Which covered our bare backs like the oil they were draining from under our homes Our homes they took us away from and ran to the ground To make way for their stone and steel castle
We still work like slaves we once were To buy back our gold, silver, oil and souls
They buried the idea of us being nothing but slaves so deep in our subconscious We have lost our conscience and fallen for their ways We see a fellow child of the soil as a nuisance when they are begging for scrapes of food and warm clothes
They placed Afrika's offspring behind metal bars with the apes, hyenas, gazelles and watched from the distance with crocodile tears at the suffering "aborigines"
Listen to the song in the wind Your ancestors are singing underneath the oceans they were thrown in Your forefathers are singing underneath the soil beneath your step Listen Child.
