lirik lagu shabaka - song of the motherland
take me
like comforting hands
born black sincere
strong to your face
and knowing i am undeniably yours
wipe your tears
and knowing i am now your strength soothe your groan
know if you be it
know wrinkle
know sweat
know me
i am black soul
take me
use me like an ointment
i shall pour over your wounds
the wounds of the flesh and the wounds of the mind
the slow healing wounds
of body and terra
dark child
use me
i am not magic
not a miracle
but i bring determination
i focus your consciousness
on toward good
i motivate your unrelenting struggle
i energizе the feeling spirit
that the brutalities еndured
and while we will not have been in vain
believe in me
i am blackness
i am identity
take me
with the joy of knowing that i was always there
at your side
in your heart
and show me like a song of defiance from the high hill
from the 50th balcony
amplify me to uncountable watchers
may babylon tremble for i shall not be denied
study me
i am black history
i am your culture
know me
for i am your future
i watered the flower of your past
i was your song of unity
but now that you are bartered (but know that you are far flung), withered
and dismembered
but you shall bloom again
you are not denied
for i am still your song of unity
i am on your rising
of that powerful look in your eye
i am chem
i am kush
i am merole
i am yetowoke
i songhai
ghana
mali
i benin
monomotapa
zimbabwe
i alkebulan
i am africa
i am africa
take me
with the knowledge that i am undeniably yours
