Verse 1
(G major) Descending from the
tribes of Africa,
inspired by the great black leaders.
(B minor) Vanglori (A minor) ous, this is pro (B minor) tected
by (G major) the (B minor) red, the black (G major) , and the green. (A minor)
With a (G major) Kizu. (E minor)
(B minor) Dynamic, articulate, (E minor) (A major) percept (G major) ive,
cour (B minor) ageous, outspoken.
One man is not (G major) a nation,
brother builds a clan.
(A flat major) Circle within the circle
creates (B minor) the better man.
The colors, the brothers,
the (G major) key, the (B minor) motherland.
(A minor) This (G major) cause is to as (B minor) semble
this black band
Red, black, and (G major) green are the (B minor) colors
of the flag on the (A minor) rise
Cause the (B minor) na tion shouldn't guise,
I'm ever flowing
(A flat major) As I (E flat major) come to sons and (G major) daughters,
(A minor) knowledge leads the (G major) way
So I (B minor) flow like Nile's waters,
African -American
Rebel of authority, ma (A minor) jority,
why I'm (B minor) so -called minority
Some (A flat major) times they ask me,
(E flat major) why are you the (B minor) rebel?
Is that the way you choose,
to tame the base and trouble you?
(A flat major) Brother don't get deep (B minor) ,
that's what they're (A minor) telling me
Just like a (B minor) sellout,
while so (A flat major) ciety gets stronger
and stronger (G major)
My race is weaker and weaker (B minor) ,
maybe (A minor) I can make a difference
to a (G major) mic and a speaker,
so my (A flat major) lyrics float dif (G major) ferent than a
hip -hop beat (B minor) bop,
my controller who turns out (G major) to be the (B minor) bop,
my wisdom god -given exercise
(G major) point of rhythm,
power (A minor) pos itive and (G major) strictly
Bible, (B minor) that's how I'm (G major) living,
(B minor) fortunes we estab (G major) lish high
so none attack it,
(A minor) back to the (B minor) ways of our mathematic blackness,
(A minor) they can't solve (G major) it,
something (E flat major) they can't catch,
(B minor) took re (A minor) spect of our (G major) lives
and I'm snatching it back (A minor) ,
power (G major) flows in the nation,
there is (E flat major) life in the key,
(G major) let us (A minor) all bind to (G major) gether in the red,
The black, green (B minor)
(G major) The black, (B minor) green
(G major) (E minor) (B minor)
Verse 2
(G major) (E minor)
(G major) The (A minor) black, (G major) the green
One vanglorious way through
the heart uni (A minor) fied
An (G major) d that (B minor) should be the guide
for the younger nation
(A flat major) so they (B minor) can build the tribes
Af (A minor) ter and beyond keep the colors alive
A (B minor) message through lyrics
and beat (G major) s composed
(A minor) Written, composed
Outstanding direct (G major) to those (B minor) who
understand what was (G major) taken
Xeroxed and stripped naked
Today's (A flat major) (B minor) pig shall be
Education (G major) brings false words,
why (B minor) do they teach?
(A minor) Everything (G major) that I learned,
I had to self -reach
What do you (A minor) know of a race
(G major) that's dying (A minor) hourly?
The smartest (G major) men on the world
lay in the (B minor) Bowery
Are you the trapped
or brainwashed
on the (G major) come up?
(A minor) Kick to the (B minor) butt, wake up,
are you some kind of nut?
Are you (A flat major) blind?
(B minor) Can't you see what's never seen?
(A minor) We need some (B minor) unity
within the colors of the
(G major)

Verse 3
(A minor) Garvey (G major) (A flat major) like (G major) brotherhood
(E flat major) flows with the (B minor) vibe,
and with the (G major) key,
the flag is kept (B minor) alive,
the sense of power,
(E flat major) nat ive to a different land,
(A flat major) origin (B minor) ality, fact that I understand,
(G major) a black fist, black (E flat major) power,
and a (A flat major) black man, (A minor) ex -Klan,
take a (B minor) stand with the upper hand,
using this as a gimmick, yo man I'll catch you,
(A minor) fetch you, kick my (B minor) foot
and then direct you in the right path,
Suck a tash,
don't ask me about the aftermath
You do what don't make me laugh, dummy
I am protected by forces beyond you
Think (A minor) before you sweat
before the (B minor) rebels, silly mortal
You wearing mother's tags
and you don't know what they (A minor) mean
All you are concerned with is
(B minor) greedy man's green
Sportin' (A flat major) on (B minor) medallions
cause they matchin' with your (A minor) outfit
Your posse's (G major) wearin' it
(B minor) Man is so illegit without definition
You represent the (B minor) fraudulent
Blessed with blackness
but now you just doggin' it
Truth for truth and a man for man
Ignorance, take a pause
soon we'll all understand
Independence is one (A flat major) thing
when unity is stronger
No (A flat major) one to real (B minor) ize oppres
(A flat major) sion lasts (B minor) longer
I'm just one man who
fears for the worst
Cause if we (A minor) don't take a stand,
someone will step forth and then
No justice, no peace
Fuck (B minor) Moses, (A flat major) Osiris, Oas (A minor) is
Patrice Lumumba, (B minor) Malcolm X
Marcus Gar (A flat major) vey, Sonny Carson
The Black Watch, Sissy (A minor) (B minor) Sissy!
