lirik lagu i’m a pan african – femi nylander

i’m a pan african but i ain’t a hotep, go step in line with pan african goals
souls aligned by oppression the pan-african pie was split up before the pan african eye could see itself
they sliced the panafrican cake, before it baked, all these ingredients mixed no h-m-genous bits
and bops lumped together, stolen chocolate chips to feed the greed the voids the pits of the stomach!
filled their faces with our spirit ‘till it runs down the lips of colonialists onto the guns at their hips
the leopolds, the rhodes, the clintons,the trumps, till all that’s left is a couple of crumbs
yum yum yum yum
but they don’t know that crumbs are actually seeds
sesames
and seeds grow into trees
and tree blossom
their deforestation and their change of the weather can’t weather our souls
they tether our fros, with their chemicals where they once tethered our throats with their chains
their belief systems tether our brains on the continent
what is a continent?
belief systems tether our brains on the continent?
europe is a cultural creation, separated by the other, peninsula of the asian continent we know
nothing geographical to separate, not large outside mercator, no different to the subcontinent of india though
africa is a geographical ent-ty, meant to be huge, mostly water of each side with two thousand languages, more lingustic diversity than 30 europe’s
talk of culture the convention is a sham, forget your geography man, look at the facts
european is synonymous with whiteness
european unity is.. well you get the idea, when you peer under rocks you might gain under rocks you may find your rocks isn’t a continent
it’s just part of a larger rock
a larger plan
suppress, reduce, exploit, demand
i’m a pan african african but i ain’t a hotep reducing africa to dashikis, and sun. ethnocentric to the left of the suez c-n-l and great bitterness to the oppressed on its right side
are you on the right side of history, not how will judge you.. they see their k!llers as saints
are you on the right side of truth in the now, cos if not the you’re complicit in pain
what is an african? let’s do the maths again, are african americans africans after they were captured and m-ssa made ’em worthless there masters were european on american earth is that an african?
the mestizo is both but he’s black
again the line is blurred it’s worth questioning all the facts again
do i choose my ident-ty like putting on a mask
and then is choice even an element?
when and what if i am black but i’m australian?
it’s messy. read, separate the fact and that is how you unify to deny the divide and rule
question school! history is written by the victors, so is geography
hypocrisy is rife in life as is ignorance
in the age where the skies hold our secret our bias keeps us chained to the ground
confirmation
geographic factors of lat-tude lead to ideas and food traveling the breadth of eurasia, the rhino’s head spread over the temporal zones and thus crops that travelled were dead on arrival, and yet the survival continued
and survival continues today in the blood and the sinews and the hearts and the minds of the d-nka the twas and the tivs and saharans, jamaicans and haitians and those in the states and the british nigerians and shebros, the fate of the african
belongs
to
the
african
