We must remind them that they are descendents of Queens and Kings of a rich nation. We must tell them who they really are. Remind them of where they came.
Corporate AmeriKKKa is strong and powerful in faking the negro over into what they deem is acceptable. Everyday I am reminded to play the game. To fall in line with the rest. Conform - Don't be a rebel with all your nonsense talk.
They don't even know what nonsense is. They don't even know that what I am screaming is the truth. I want nothing to do with it and so I must take leave. I have found that pocket of negroes who don't even know who they are...They have forgotten their tribes.
They call me a young rebel. They ask, "how did you get like that?" They don't overstand that I am on a path bound for the promise land. I am a warrior on a mission and I make no apologies for looking like it. A gypsy on a journey to the new Jerusalem - "Sie ist im Viereck angelegt - Offenbarung 21, 16
Zu meinen Gunsten ausgelegt, Hab ich Zion als erster gesehen" (Look it up y'all).
Have you ever noticed that the word for Zion in Amharic contains the word for rebel? So call me a rebel...I'll be that.
I know that Jah has dropped me here for a reason. Unfortunately, the first thing I want to do is run away as fast as I can from all this madness. Get away from these lost negroes with no sense of history. Get away from those who tell me to ascribe to another form of beauty that Jah did not grant me. He made me unique - He made each and everyone of us unique but the negroes here despise their curly locks, their broad noses and full lips.
And now they want me to despise myself. Cover up my skin, burn my hair, take my piercings away, cover my tribal marks....and because I refuse...they call me a rebel.
Well, I'll be that...a soul rebel as Bob would say. We have just as much ownership to these jobs and salaries as people of fair skin. We must demand equality in jobs, wages, and civil liberties. We cannot allow ourselves to slip into corporate AmeriKKKa, change who we are, take lower positions and wages than those born with fair skin. No one else is asked to change who they are and how they look.
A black woman with braids or locs is just as good as CEO as a white man! And we as a people should not encourage those of us who wake up and choose to live life in the flesh in which Jah created us to ascribe to a European standard of beauty!
Stop trying to take the Afrikan out of me, and bring some of it back to yourselves!
The negroes stuck in this unfortunate position should take a long hard look in the mirror and find the natural one inside...the one that Jah intended you to be.
We must end the assimulation - Terminate the annihilation of the negro mental state.
Black People remember who you are!
