Thank you very much.
I am an African man
And I don't need no one
To tell me
How to be
An African man
As African
It's a thing
I shouldn't really
Have to say
But some black people
Out there
Feel say
Is on a certain black man
And no man can
Qualify
As African
Them say
How can you want to go
To a place
You never seen
How can you call
Your home
A place
You never been
And you no know
No African language
And you no know
No African culture
A European
Be
You follow every day
So I guess
You better stay
But I say it again
And I say it strong
As a man
As an African
I don't need
No one
To tell me
How to become
An African
Yet still
Be caught
Until I say
Them no want you
Down there
How you would live
If you reached there
Why you have to give up
A kind of doctrine
I go teach
If you reach
And how you going to survive
When more sound
Barely alive
And war did
And famine did
And tyrant regime
Did
And you no know
No African culture
And you no live
No African way
So you better make a public
Bill on your future
And I ask you
You better stay
You them call themself
Afro this
You them call themself
Afro that
Any kind of Afro
Babylon
Anything
But African
Bill still is just
One position
You see I man
I come from
From the day
I know I self
Born of a black woman
Conscious of who I am
I know where I belong
And I check every black man
And I check every black woman
No matter where
Them find themselves
No matter where
How they live
I want them have
To give
As African
As African
