UNTITL3D, Mimibaby - Mama Motherland Lyrics

Damn mama
I'm sorry it took me so long to get the facts straight
But I'm learning now
They kept us in the dark on purpose, tried to say you're worthless
They knew our power so they crashed our land and made a circus
They took our babies, raped our ladies, turned us to their God
They colonized us cuz without us they would just be frauds
I promise mama I will never trust a word they say again
Cuz I know better than I did before
Was just a student taught 'bout Rosa Parks but nothing more
I wasn't educated properly 'bout the racists
How they abused us cause' They're sadists
Just some bullshit 'bout enslavement
They really fooled our minds
One teaching at a time
They said yall just live under rocks
But didn't admit their crimes
They didn't talk about the beauty of the land
Or how we are Kings and Queens
Cause' that would go against their plan
They never really wanted us to go and love ourself
Cause' our uprising would lead to their decline of wealth
We have everything, resources down to every crop
So they had to kidnap us just for their balls to drop
Since I'm learning now
Allow me to spread the word
Most of the things we learned in school were Just outright absurd
Africa has many countries were violence occurred
And John Hanning Speake didn't find the Nile
Fuck what you heard
I think it's time that we educate our minds
Because class is back in session
Our history's been misaligned
And it's our job ladies and gentlemen to get it back
Unless we always want colonizers leading our tracks
I refuse to be abused and just a muse
To those who don't have the same views
Or the same hues of my complexion
We Black people need our own sense of direction
And not fighting for our freedom is definitely out the question
Our ancestors are turning in their Graves
And black souls are burning
Bodies swinging, dying
Let that fire move you
