Lyrics Say It Loud - Amazing Ace

Amazing Ace, yo

Telling me I'm Black is an understatement
It's just a reminder of days of enslavement
I'm more than a color, and more than you can define
I'm the beginning of the human timeline
So what can you tell me now, that I'm an ape
Please, my breed is beyond your landscape
I'm original, the whole was grafted from my queen
Mitochondrial, from the Eve gene
You can't erase us, your plans have failed
God has returned, and the truth's unveiled
So what was prophesied has come to life
But some are still in denial, it's all rife
Our ancestors thrown from a ship, and left behind
But you're an Indian in your closed mind
Never mind your burnt brass and lamb's wool feature
I know the procedure, that's why I say it loud

I'm a New Afrikan, (NEW AFRIKAN)
A New Afrikan, (NEW AFRIKAN)
A New Afrikan, (NEW AFRIKAN)
Come on, say it loud
I'm a New Afrikan, (NEW AFRIKAN)
A New Afrikan, (NEW AFRIKAN)
A New Afrikan, (NEW AFRIKAN)
Come on, say it loud

Alpha and Omega, beginning and end
The Motherland's beginning, America's end
2023, the seven seals are cracked
There's no more excuses for the Sambo act
Or Uncle Ben, or Aunt Jemima, no
Get your own plantation to grow
Too many centuries of blood, sweat, and tears
But I'm still seeing chains and shackles on my peers
Deja vu got me feeling resentment
'Cause 13th Amendment's a constant remnant
Nationalism got us divided
Haiti and Dominican Republic collided
Undecided from misinformation
We all came from the same ships, same location
The west coast was the gold empire
The richest man held the throne as the sire

I'm a New Afrikan, (NEW AFRIKAN)
A New Afrikan, (NEW AFRIKAN)
A New Afrikan, (NEW AFRIKAN)
Come on, say it loud
I'm a New Afrikan, (NEW AFRIKAN)
A New Afrikan, (NEW AFRIKAN)
A New Afrikan, (NEW AFRIKAN)
Come on, say it loud

We say we're free, but we're still property
We ran for North, towards a lot of hate I see
Looking for an escape from the plantation
But our last name is still from owner's plantation
Property of, yeah that's all I got to say
I'm a new man, x-ing the ways of yesterday
Emerging and taking what's rightfully mine
A soldier standing firm on the mainline
So beware, there's no fear in me, I'm real proud
Not reactionary, opposite, I say it loud
Until my vocal cords are sore and can't speak
Then I'll let the rhythm hit 'em when this audio leak
From the east my brother, from the east
Here's an anthem for homecoming feast
On the Black Star Line taking people back
We are more than the color Black so I say it loud

I'm a New Afrikan, (NEW AFRIKAN)
A New Afrikan, (NEW AFRIKAN)
A New Afrikan, (NEW AFRIKAN)
Come on, say it loud
I'm a New Afrikan, (NEW AFRIKAN)
A New Afrikan, (NEW AFRIKAN)
A New Afrikan, (NEW AFRIKAN)
Come on, say it loud

(NEW AFRIKAN)
(NEW AFRIKAN)
Come on, say it loud
