Benje, Solo Toda Googal - Mother Land Lyrics

May we find our way back to the motherland
Why they take us from the motherland and got us living like this
Got us fighting for peas rice and grits
Take us from the motherland and got us living like this
Got us fighting for peas rice and grits
No one wants to talk about how we got raped
Killed and slaughtered and taken away from mama
Mama AFRICA Alkebulan
Force to learn about their history
Mean while yours and mines is a mystery
The writing is still on the wall
Look at the statues
Why did they knock the nose off
Why they take us to the motherland and got us living like this
Got us fighting for peas rice and grits
Take us from the motherland and got us living like this
Got us fighting for peas rice and grits
Never taught us about Mansa Musa
The riches man who came from the Mali empire
Our history is rich rich rich
So is the ignorance bliss bliss bliss
Not knowing where you come from is a disaster
The last name you get that come from the slave master
You don't know that you came from a tribe because the program you to believe in a lie
Why they take us to the motherland and got us living like this
Got us fighting for peas rice and grits
Take us from the motherland and got us living like this
Got us fighting for peas rice and grits
Grab us up for commodity build their empire with our bodies
Free labor then they turn around and give us a blue eye savior
Some people they don't like the truth
They'll touch the surface and skip the root
Learn about your past happenings
So in the present you can ask the hard questions
Why they take us to the motherland and got us living like this
Got us fighting for peas rice and grits
Take us from the motherland and got us living like this
Got us fighting for peas rice and grits
Home how we wanna go home
New Jarusalem
Home how we wanna go home
New Jerusalem

May we find our way back to the motherland
Why they take us from the motherland and got us living like this
Got us fighting for peas rice and grits
Take us from the motherland and got us living like this
Got us fighting for peas rice and grits
No one wants to talk about how we got raped
Killed and slaughtered and taken away from mama
Mama AFRICA Alkebulan
Force to learn about their history
Mean while yours and mines is a mystery
The writing is still on the wall
Look at the statues
Why did they knock the nose off
Why they take us to the motherland and got us living like this
Got us fighting for peas rice and grits
Take us from the motherland and got us living like this
Got us fighting for peas rice and grits
Never taught us about Mansa Musa
The riches man who came from the Mali empire
Our history is rich rich rich
So is the ignorance bliss bliss bliss
Not knowing where you come from is a disaster
The last name you get that come from the slave master
You don't know that you came from a tribe because the program you to believe in a lie
Why they take us to the motherland and got us living like this
