Still Mine
I am a proud black man
Iv'e got no reason to hang my head in shame
Yes I was enslaved
Oh yea
But I didn't start in slavery
Why did they enslave me
For what I had
They didn't enslave me for nothing
They enslaved me for what I had
And what is still mine
Suppose they would give back to Afraka
What they took from Afraka
There would be nothing left to see in the museum
Afraka owes nothing to outsiders in regard to development
Because
All of them declared war on Afrakan culture
War on Afrakan civilization
War on Afrakan ways of life
They began to bastardize Afraka
And confuse and create a kind of historical schizophrenia
That Afraka hasn't gotten rid of to this very day
They created whole words that did not previously exist
Like Middle East
Middle from what
Iv'e got no reason to hang my head in shame
Yes I was enslaved
Oh yea
But I didn't start in slavery
Why did they enslave me
For what I had
They didn't enslave me for nothing
They enslaved me for what I had
And what is still mine
Suppose they would give back to Afraka
What they took from Afraka
There would be nothing left to see in the museum
Afraka owes nothing to outsiders in regard to development
Because
All of them declared war on Afrakan culture
War on Afrakan civilization
War on Afrakan ways of life
They began to bastardize Afraka
And confuse and create a kind of historical schizophrenia
That Afraka hasn't gotten rid of to this very day
They created whole words that did not previously exist
Like Middle East
Middle from what
