Black Hidden History by Theoriii Lyrics
Laying on the beaches of the Namib
Joseph, a nomad finding gifts and land he thought he would never have
Spear in his hand
The burning sun over time taught him to harvest correctly
Save for the rest see
Hunt behind the wind and read the stars for everything...
He now knew what dreams are!
Years later, village grown, 18 thousand strong
Trading gifts for stone, lets get along
You're my sister, he's his brother, and the motherland gives Joseph and this family everything they ask for
Gold, iron, walking slowly north towards the star
Things got a lot colder, I wonder whats your last name
We're right here, we haven't gone nowhere, you see, you and I are same
The faster we realise the faster the panther eats
I count my seeds to grow crops for everybody listening
I think the fight could be over, the dead remind us to never forget whatsoever
Of the kindness we showed even with scars on our backs
400 hundred fears, 400 lashings, 400 pigs careers are bashings
Genocide, SADC homicide, PTSD must be homes new syndrome
Bullets, bibles, cash money making idols, ah!
Smoking rituals, peace making pipe subliminals
Making fires rain dancing we're smooth fucken criminals
Nigga light nigga dark we both a part of the originals
Actual fictional facts Theoriii knows
Our ancient ancestors, the moors
Rich in knowledge and cures
Robbed of their scared scrolls
Their lives are now just a blur
Yet another censored massacre
Portugal, Spain
You turned your back on what you know
Your history is covered in pure black gold
Iberia holds, the story code
Reload, refresh, let our truth be told
Kemet, home of the pyramids
Yeah we build that shit master
Geometry, calculus
We never missed a damn chapter
Signed anonymous, you stole our answers after
Mansa Musa
They came for his gold I suppose
Black pharaohs
Why they all missing their nose
A figure of preach
Psshhh man, what do you know
Ruler of Ethiopia
Selassie, not Neil Tyson
Negro Motorist Green Book
It's all in the damn writing
Samori Ture, Latimer
They brought the light in
Black history
Not boats and Abraham Lincoln
Not the black panther movie
Nor fictitious alien kingdoms
Its the kings and queens of the world
The ones who feel the rhythm
Know where we are, know where you stand
This motherfucken land...
African-history in the making!
Know where we are, know where you stand
This motherfucken land...
African-history in the making!
Black History, Black Hidden History
