This one is essential to our souls (First Verse) Let it be known, so many things have been hidden from the screen Tu deviens fort, tu deviens rêves, tu deviens prince, tu deviens king! Gad jan li bèl, gad jan lap maché, sé pou toute pitit Dessalines So many forces down the street, seducing the brains of beautiful beings They haven't told us, we be the most dangerous people on the planet They don't even see us as people as long as we keep it quiet They like when we fantasize about the size of a bank account But what about when we strategize on sankarizing spiritual mountains Let's be the ones, let's the two's, let's be the three's that we waited for Let's be beyond Lebron, let's skywalk like Jackson Michael Jordan We got some politics to take care of, cause we're been robbed for a while Let no man tell you tthat you're too inexperienced cause you be a child Get up and smile, Charlie Chaplin style, some folks are gonna get burned This life is borrowed from the stripes that our ancestors earned Much independance spiritually taken from the mighty chants of pain No pain no gain, your life is a dream, and dreams are really not vain (Second verse) We never been cursed, never been doomed, never were born for deception Get up and rehearse, and just re-burst through the hall of real independance Ne doute pas du don que t'as, fonce dans le tas, fais des dégâts Garde la foi, en cette voix, au fond de toi, qui te dit crois Ou pa ka dim sé mwen ki gin madichon suspann palé-m mal Map mété toute espwa mwin an lè an nan zetwal Dare to change the things, that are broken Don't let them treat you like token Blessed like a reverend, why should you ever f**ing doubt your heaven You're african, even if you gotta funny name like Kevin Look at your thoughts, look at your tone, no Indiana Jones Elders be the one that left a gift more precious than stones (of Sierra Leone) Whether you're torn of complete with your sense of identity Know that you're never alone, even in chains, you're free The war so irrational, ripping through the capital of the soul Yearning for the remnants of gold, they're digging deep in the bones Call for action brethren and sisters, in the name of the law and love, in the name of believers (Outro) Bay kou bliye, pote mak sonje Listoua yap rakonte son listoua tête anba Si yo te konnin kijan nap soufri de toute bagay sa Poutoutepitite Henri Christophe, Patrice Lumumba Bay kou bliye, pote mak sonje Listoua yap rakonte son listoua tête anba Si yo te konnen kijan nap soufri de toute bagay sa Pou toute pitite Toussaint Louverture, Thomas Sankara Bay kou bliye, pote mak sonje Listoua yap rakonte son listoua tête anba Si yo te konnen kijan nap soufri de toute bagay sa Pou toute pitite Malcolm X, Kwame Nkruma (some of them try to k** us but we still exist)
