    作曲 : 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
