[Verse]
Bloodlines braided, gold in the DNA
Moors lit the torch, they paved the way
Algebra in the streets, science in the domes
Built Europe’s palaces, but they don't call it home
Kwame spoke fire, voice sharp as machetes
Cut through the lies, made the masses steady
Griot tongues, wisdom in the wind
From Timbuktu scrolls to the ink in my pen
[Chorus]
Black crown rising, the throne ain't lost
We kings and queens, no matter the cost
Echoes of the past, they calling us back
Unite the tribe, we reclaim the black
[Verse 2]
From the pyramids' peak to the Congo's breath
Civilizations high, they couldn't digest
Middle Passage scars, we carry the load
But the soul still shines, that's the royal code
Nat Turner whispers, Harriet runs
Rebellion in our blood, hotter than the sun
Panthers in the shadows, fists in the sky
Unity's the armor, oppression can't buy
[Prechorus]
We the rhythm, the drum, the cipher, the flow
From Sankofa to tomorrow, the seeds still grow
