Africville’s Revenge
It was a parallel world
It was a...
Africville is back
Amber Valley back
Hogan's Alley back
Back in black, back in black
Black is back, black is back
Afrofuturist, black urbanist
Black verbalist, black journalist, revisionist
I resurrect through remembrance
Black communities, stay strong, resilience
Wish my people were treated with reverence
Instead they're treated as irrelevant
Disrespected 'cause of resemblance
Courts wanna see us be recidivists
All of this, it gеts ridiculous
We've been failed by rеpresentatives
Get so tired of the rhetoric
Get moved out for other residents
No more living with the reticence
Say what I feel without regretting it
Smart, black, handsome plus I'm eloquent
All they notice is the melanin
Africville is back
Amber Valley back
Hogan's Alley back
Back in black, back in black
Black is back, black is back
Africville is back
Amber Valley back
Hogan's Alley back
Back in black, back in black
Black is back, black is back
It was a...
Africville is back
Amber Valley back
Hogan's Alley back
Back in black, back in black
Black is back, black is back
Afrofuturist, black urbanist
Black verbalist, black journalist, revisionist
I resurrect through remembrance
Black communities, stay strong, resilience
Wish my people were treated with reverence
Instead they're treated as irrelevant
Disrespected 'cause of resemblance
Courts wanna see us be recidivists
All of this, it gеts ridiculous
We've been failed by rеpresentatives
Get so tired of the rhetoric
Get moved out for other residents
No more living with the reticence
Say what I feel without regretting it
Smart, black, handsome plus I'm eloquent
All they notice is the melanin
Africville is back
Amber Valley back
Hogan's Alley back
Back in black, back in black
Black is back, black is back
Africville is back
Amber Valley back
Hogan's Alley back
Back in black, back in black
Black is back, black is back
