lirik lagu mwata – cee thr33
do you know your roots
do you know your home
do you know your people
represent your own
do you practice culture
do you see longevity
will you go back home
will you bring prosperity
where am i from
who are my people
what is my tongue
where is my chiefdom
what is my tribe
what is my region
if you’re born a slave how do you know freedom
learnt the ways of the looters and pillagers
those who don’t know i lable them villagers
big city life took away my innocence now
i’m older and i know what the mission is
it’s to visit my roots rediscover my self
take what i’ve learnt let us built new wealth
a king isn’t known for the castles he’s built
a real king is known for the people he helps
with this crown on my head now my home i protect
if you ask me europe owes us a check
the belgian congo, british in the west
france in the north never punished for their theft
took our culture called us backward
took our riches and left us a language
put us on boats to their home we were captives
took our self love put shame in our blackness
look to today have things really changed
breaking off chains doesn’t mean we’re not slaves
we follow their lead practice their ways
when royalty is coursing right through our veins
so i call myself mwata connect to my roots
try to be a leader in all that i do
the power in me is the power in you
it time to wake up time to speak our truth
sleeping giant is what they have named us
truth is they fear what would happen if we wake up
make us fight eachother is how they manipulate us
k!lling everyone who speaks against their status
patrice lumumba, thomas sankara
muamar ghadafi k!lled our brothers
i wanna be a leader young mwanawasa
you wanna tell me can you answer
do you know your roots
do you know your home
do you know your people
represent your own
do you practice culture
do you see longevity
will you go back home
will you bring prosperity
where am i from
who are my people
what is my tongue
where is my chiefdom
what is my tribe
what is my region
if you’re born a slave how do you know freedom
