| 作词 : Jungle Brothers | |
| You don't know who you are | |
| Look back into your past, brother | |
| Look back into your past, sister | |
| Look back into your past, sister | |
| Look back into your past, brother [Afrika] | |
| My forefather was a king | |
| He wore fat gold chains and fat ruby rings | |
| Nobody believes this to be true | |
| Maybe it's because my eyes ain't blue | |
| You ain't gonna find it in your history book | |
| Come here, young blood, and take a look | |
| Dig down deep inside this hard cover | |
| Don't you know you was bought, brother | |
| All you read about is slavery | |
| Never about the black man's bravery | |
| You look at the pictures and all they show is | |
| Afrikan people with bones in their noses | |
| That ain't true, that's a lie | |
| You didn't get that from my lemon pie [Mike G] | |
| Yeah, I cut class, | |
| I got a D | |
| Cause History meant nothing to me | |
| Except a definite nap | |
| That's why | |
| I always sat in the back | |
| I'd talk to girls or write a rhyme | |
| Cause I didn't know (all times are black man's times) | |
| When I was young my mama told me stories | |
| Of black peoples' fight to bring us glory | |
| I used to think these were stories to put me to sleep | |
| But now I know mama's talk wasn't cheap | |
| I know Afrika's for | |
| Afrikans And history's the blood of every woman and man "Now I begin another search, the incredibly involved The incredibly difficult and incredibly frustrating search Trying to pull together the history of a people" [Afrika] | |
| Page one, page two, page three | |
| And still no signs of me | |
| Yeah, so I looked into the table of contents | |
| They wrote a little thing about us in the projects | |
| Only history we make is if we kill somebody | |
| Rape somebody, but other than that we're nobody | |
| Speaking like a | |
| Brother living in the | |
| Jungle I know | |
| I was here first but | |
| I remain humble [Mike G] | |
| Now it's time to rekindle the fire | |
| A tribe of young brothers with the eye of the tiger [Afrika] | |
| Acknowledge your own, we have a home | |
| Put on this earth to live and roam [Mike G] | |
| Christopher chose to explore | |
| DISCOVERED | |
| AMERICA! Yeah, sure [Afrika] | |
| He thought the planet was square | |
| Travelled many places, we already had been there | |
| We left tracks, backtrack back | |
| First civilisation, you know where that was found at | |
| Looking for the true black days of glory | |
| That's history, that's his story [Vinia Mojica 4x] | |
| The red's for the blood and the black's for the man | |
| The green is the colour that stands for the land |
