History
Me I travel to overseas
In a plane with luxuries
Anytime me I dey think
My ancestors were chained to overseas
Me I need some Hennessy
And I need some energy
Someone need to explain to me
How y'all felt to chain people across the sea
That was my history I know that
Questionable history I know that
That was my history I know that
Was my questionable history I know that
That was my history I know that
Questionable history I know that
That was my history I know that
Was my questionable history I know that
(Questionable history I know that)
Questionable history I know that
Me I come from the Motherland
And I'm proud to be African
Questionable history I know that
Tuskegee's own, Booker T Washington
They dehumanize us cos we African
A couple hundred heads stacked below the deck
The first success at human-trafficking
400 years! Left our black babies with running tears
Mothers violated, they running scared
Fathers & sons, strung in market squares
Damn they hate us here!
Displaced in a foreign land with no path at all
Thats why so much rage running thru our veins
Crazy how they traded my people for alcohol
Now we sipping Hennessy just to numb the pain
Now we smoking loud to quiet the noise
We buy mad ish to fill up the void
Trauma, we the byproduct,
Retail therapy, so we steady buy products
Me I travel to overseas
In a plane with luxuries
Anytime me I dey think
My ancestors were chained to overseas
Me I need some Hennessy
And I need some energy
Someone need to explain to me
How y'all felt to chain people across the sea
That was my history I know that (I know that)
Questionable history I know that (Yea)
That was my history I know that (I know that)
Was my questionable history I know that (Yea)
That was my history I know that (I know that)
Questionable history I know that (Yea)
That was my history I know that (I know that)
Was my questionable history I know that
(Questionable history I know that)
Are we really free
Can we really be with a system designed to put the shackles in our feet (Questionable history I know that)
Me I come from the Motherland
And I'm proud to be African
Questionable history I know that
I'm from the Motherland, Kingdom of Dahomey
In a plane with luxuries
Anytime me I dey think
My ancestors were chained to overseas
Me I need some Hennessy
And I need some energy
Someone need to explain to me
How y'all felt to chain people across the sea
That was my history I know that
Questionable history I know that
That was my history I know that
Was my questionable history I know that
That was my history I know that
Questionable history I know that
That was my history I know that
Was my questionable history I know that
(Questionable history I know that)
Questionable history I know that
Me I come from the Motherland
And I'm proud to be African
Questionable history I know that
Tuskegee's own, Booker T Washington
They dehumanize us cos we African
