The Cops Know Who Are Black

We are all Africans Africa is the crib of the humanity Learn, know and study world's history To discover the full and complete story We are all Humans Regardless of the color Regardless of the odor We must eradicate the systemic racism Which is a cancer, a virus, a bacteria We need to get rid of this bullshitism From the world and from the main encyclopedia The same blood is flowing through our veins Most of us are stupid, intolerant and full of sins The cops do not differentiate, that's right The cops know who're black and who're white Nationalities are irrelevant to them They see the same features, the same dam Don't fool yourselves and be proud of who you are The cops can easily identify you from afar Black is smart and beautiful Black is strong and wonderful Don't put yourselves down Can't you see your invisible crown? You're the sons and daughters of kings You're the sons and daughters of queens Behave like you own a house full of gold Remember what you were once told You are black and beautiful You are black and wonderful You're human beings, you're special You're human beings, you're beautiful The cops see that you're light Yet, you are still black and beautiful The cops see that you're not white Yet, you are strong and wonderful Africa is the birth place of humanity Africa is the mother of the universe We are all made of water and dust. Athirst For knowledge and wisdom, we let stupidity And ignorance encourage us to act up Quit dreaming, you're not at the top We shall return to the natural state One day. Stop the nonsense, stop the hate The Police should be retrained and reeducated It makes no difference if you've been newly painted The cops know who are black; who are white Don't try to confuse anybody. Stay tight Everybody knows who you are You darn well know who you are Don't try to be what you're not Be intelligent, stop saying: but, but Dumb nuts are found in the jungle, in the forest Diamonds are found in dirt, in the dirty soil, in the dust.
