Garvey

garvey garvey rise agen

teck wi from dis evil den

garvey garvey rescue wi

from disyah ideology

marcus garvey risin from earth

like moses pick from birth

corn children say it loud

mek dem know wi still black an'

proud

i'm black and i'm proud (repeat)

afrikan leaders just wait

garvey action wi can duplicate

black pride im did preach

to de young we must teach

put garvey in wi reality

mek wi check im philosophy

talkin bout afrikan dignity

inna disyah insanity

talkin bout our history

dat begin before slavery

corn children say it loud

mek dem know wi still black an'

proud

I'm black and I'm proud 2x

from egypt to timbucktu

from morrocco to south afrika too

we walk proud over de Ian'

out of afrika it all began

garvey taught race first

afrikan slavery was not a curse

we can accomplish w'at we will

great afrika was great we are still

corn children say it loud

mek dem know wi still black and

proud

if u don't know where u are comin

from

u wont know where u are goin

a people without a knowledge of

their past

is like a tree without roots

afrika for afrikans

those at home an'those abroad

if you have no confidence in

yourself

u are twice defeated in de race of

life

but with confidence u have won

even before u have started

corn children say it loud

mek dem know wi still black and

proud

Skaba dey bada

I'm black and proud (till fade)
