Suckers are talking about the motherland Just like they love her, get the hell out of it 'cos I can see that's only sell out shit Saying there proud to be this and that But if you call them african They certainly have a heart attack Not because they're not, but they'll hate to be (called like that) Now the question is, who's really the wannabee We've been enslaved, divided, colonized and split up Black people away from each other We ain't into that. Sometimes I wonder, under the sun I used to ponder 'cos we're in the same situation Here and yonder, there just trying to divide to rule Takin' us for fools, teach us lies from the early school Don't let no one put the blame on your brotherman That's a sham, you're a true nubian, damn If you get what I'm saying You love what I'm playing Check this out, cos I ain't staying
