Lyrics
New fashion, so many films 'bout slavery
Now it's time to show the world 'bout the African honor and bravery
Time to tell our story
All about our glory, yeah
Time to show our history
Don't let it be no mystery now
Time to tell our story
All about our glory, yeah
Slave films touch fashion, dem even win Oscar
Inna box office a prosper
About the time when a man think say him a the master
But him was just an imposter
Slavery make a lot of money
Upon the big screen and on the TV
Now it's time for the youth dem to see
When I and I a live as royalty
Time to tell our story
All about our glory, yeah
Time to show our history
Don't let it be no mystery now
How many film you ever see about ancient Nubia?
Kemet and Kush not a Ethiopia
Great and Zimbabwe, ancient Ghana
You really have fi wonder a what a gwan yah
What about the Benin and the Mali Empire?
The Congo and the Songhai and the Zulu warrior
Dem waan do a film about Mansa Musa
Him make Bill Gates look like a pauper
Yar Santwe and Nzinga female warrior
Imhotep the architect and the first doctor
Dem a say dem a do a film about the Manta Arca
And they still nah do the film so much years later
Dem fi show when I and I a sit down 'pon the throne
Manada still a live like a Fred Flintstone
Dem fi show before Greece, dem fi show before Rome
All of the truth must be known
New fashion, so many films 'bout slavery
Now it's time to show the world 'bout the African honor and bravery
Time to tell our story
All about our glory, yeah
Time to show our history
Don't let it be no mystery now
Time to tell our story
All about our glory, yeah
Time to show our history
Don't let it be no mystery now
I was not a slave, I was a prisoner
I and I was brave, I was a warrior
