To the children of Afrika,
Science and Art is our creation and our history is complex and rigid.
We're the morning after/the make shift youth that slave ship captured.
The ancestral lineage that built pyramids,
The Kings sons and daughters from Nile waters,
The first architect, first philosophers, first astronomers,
The prophets and doctors was US.
We were scholars long before colleges.
But who are we today?
Slums, Deceases, AIDS
We need all that to fade and we can not be afraid!
