Black king

Intro (spoken chant/Nyabinghi drum feel):

Rise up, Black man……

Rise up, mighty king…..

Take back your crown…..

Lead your nation again..

Black man, you are the root, you are the tree,

From your hand came the light for humanity,

They try to hide the truth, rewrite history,

But the stone that was rejected is the true prophecy.

Put on your crown, Black man, walk in dignity,

You are the king, the leader, the foundation of we,

Rise from the ashes, reclaim your legacy,

Teach the youth love and guide them consciously.

No more war in the ghetto, no more blood in the street,

No more envy, no more hatred when the brethren meet,

Lift your brother up, don’t knock him off his feet,

One love, one power, make the circle complete.

Put on your crown, Black man, walk in dignity,

You are the king, the leader, the foundation of we,

Rise from the ashes, reclaim your legacy,

Teach the youth love and guide them consciously.

Bridge (chant/call & response):

Leader of nations! (Rise, oh rise)

Builder of kingdoms! (Rise, oh rise)

Father of science! (Rise, oh rise)

Bearer of wisdom! (Rise, oh rise)

Black man, remember, you built the pyramids tall,

Civilization’s cradle, you’re the father of it all,

They stole your inventions, your glory they call,

But the truth is eternal,can’t erase it at all.

[Chorus] ( repeat with more fire):

Put on your crown, Black man, walk in dignity,

You are the king, the leader, the foundation of we,

Rise from the ashes, reclaim your legacy,

Teach the youth love and guide them consciously.

Outro (chant/fade out):

Rise, mighty king, rise….

Put back your crown, oh rise……

Lead the nation, rise……

Foundation strong, oh rise…..
