All Things Afrikan
Awakening from Niggahood!
Awakening from Niggahood!
Been sleep too long, believin the nightmare that's been called the amerikkkan dream
Awakening from Niggahood!
Been sleep to long, believin that you have my best interest at hand when you brutally beat, and kill my brothers and sisters for the sake of civil obedience
Awakening from Niggahood!
Been sleep too long, believin that that flag you taught me to salute and pledge was the flag of "My" people
Awakening from Niggahood!
Been sleep too long, believin that when you let me enter the front of the bus and eat at the counter that we finally became equal
Awakening from Niggahood!
Been sleep too long, believin that my wooly hair was a bad thing that I needed to assimilate your hair, not knowing that I was killing the natural beauty of my woolly, kinky mane
Awakening from Niggahood!
Been sleep too long, believin that my dark skin was a curse, devalued not just by you but because of your influence by my own people
Awakening from Niggahood!
Been sleep too long, believin that your claims on ancient philosophy was your brainchild but really a stolen legacy from Kemet where hues contained melanin
Awakening from Niggahood!
Been sleep too long, believin that our political prisoners are just of the past but I'm here to tell you they are not forgotten nor what they stood for
Awakening from Niggahood!
Been sleep too long, believin that all our people are good for is only shufflin around for your entertainment and ridicule
Awakening from Niggahood!
Been sleep too long, believin that the essence of black womanhood is the acceptance of your stereo type of degredation and shame
Awakening from Niggahood!
Been sleep too long, believin that you have the answers to our problems when in truth you are the reason for our problems
Glad I woke up!
