Listen up brothers and sisters
The black man has not always been a slave
First, great God created the black man and the black woman
As the first on this planet Earth
God created the black man and the black woman
The Black Race defined the laws of this universe
They still govern man's behaviour
Even until this very day
But what happened
Out of the mountain
Came a very destructive race
That ended up destroying our Black civilisation
In the garden of Eden, in ancient Egypt
In ancient Israel, Hindu, Kush, India
Eventually, they put our people into slavery
Killing over 210 million Africans
And we should educate our youth
Teach our youth
That this heinous crime against humanity shall never happen again
Never again (6x)
The Black Race shall never allow this to happen again
Never again

Chorus

Once a slave
Twice never ever
Jah will never let us down
This is revolution sound (2x)
Once a slave
Twice never ever
Jah will never let us down
This is revolution sound (2x)
This is revolution sound
Once a slave

Verse 1
Liberate your self from mental slavery and set your mind free
100's of million souls lost in the Red sea during slavery
Living Africans helplessly towards eternity
The truth got to be told, we need compensation in all oppressed nation
A lot of us living blindly perceiving everything white to superior to black
Nah, never that ready for combat
Black will forever shine
They try to keep us blind
Putting our lifes on the line
This song is made to raise the souls of the fallen soldiers
Who fought against the slave masters
The icons of emancipation
Peace to Osagyefo
But still why we got gold and minerals but we still can't control
Why the black man is the white mans enemy
Why the Europeans got to rule the world economy
Resist any form of slavery with your own mentality
Rise, Mother Africa
This song got to make your mind even when they think you blind
Spread the word

We were once a slave
In da cold dayz
Where we're living in pains and misery
And all we talk about is peace and justice, love and unity
Humanity, suffering, see no victory
All we see is faces of death, tears and frightness
They stealing in the name of the God, the fortress
They killing us, from the beginning now they ruling us
Watch Mother nature suffer error
And those who can't see remain blind till forever
Being gun by war, behind the scene of government is revolution
Black man restitution
So free your mind from gunz and terror and stop abusing
Surrender your sword is to fight for mama Africa
Time to recognise the slave master
Africa, time to liberate faster

Repeat Chorus

Verse 2
Repatriation is the unpredictable process
Spectacular, the Black Race was, is
And forever would be against the white Dracula
We are descendants of Axum and Kamat
We built pyramids triangular
And knew the essence of the sun's blazing fire
Ankh ' O ' Ra, the source of life from Ra
That illuminated, melanated, hue-mans with Kra
Kabalistic origins of the Black Mystical
I'm original and dreadful holisitical
Issachar the Habinjah
Are u ready to join this revolution
With lyrical & historical vibes
That be critical for a free Kra
Then remember the many dying in Africa
Whites deterring our nation
Whose side do you choose
Or you want to remain silent and patient
As you work and die for fools
When I say fools, I mean the foes
White clones who robbed us of our precious stones
The vampire that kept to destroy the layers of ozone
Desolator who dwells in the depths of the frozen artic zone
Cast away the white monger, that dwellest amongst us
Revolutionary voice of thunder
As you did, so I cast ur chords asunder
Remember I be the Habinjah
Whose head you took to devour
My body retrieved in the gulf of Aden after you threw it under
Lockets on my feet that held them together on slave ships
I wept tears, I mean I wept tears
Tears that remember my bloody anger
Spectacular, we are
The Black Race
Habinjah

Repeat Chorus

Narration
Listen up now
Mother Ghana should get credit
Because it is Mother Ghana
The only country on the African continent
That is celebrating emancipation
Emancipation means the understanding and education
Of the liberation of the Black Race
And Mother Ghana, she's in the forefront
Bringing about the education
Proper knowledge is power (3x)
Sankofa
Go back to your roots
Sankofa
Go back to your roots
Sankofa
Go back to your roots
Proper knowledge is power

I love this song, the video, everything. We need more conscious hip hop like this in Africa. These are a learned group of kids making some real music. Buy their single on iTunes and support the movement.
