lyrics
If you're white you're alright/ if you're brown stick around
If you're black then get back/ and you know its a fact
It's the way that they act/ and the slavish attack
And the knowledge they lack that is holding them back now.
First they had us in physical slavery, now they have us in mental slavery
and you know that they could never save we.
We have to wake up and face them with bravery.
If we only knew our history (yea yea yea yea yea)
We could see through the lies and solve the mystery
If we only knew our royalty (yea yea yea yea yea)
We can sit on our throne just like the king of kings
Captured in a world of frustration.
Lack of hope all misdirection.
I cry out at all the destruction.
Running from the terror and all the corruption.
Fleeing the beast with seven heads.
Angels blowing on their trumpets.
Calling out priest Melchizedek
When dem come they have to get respect.
Negus Negus Negus Negast
Ancient Ethiopian from the past
From Madagascar to Sudan (oh yea)
Coming from the shores of Alkebulan Alkebulan
He is the first and he is the last

Ultra Rock Hip-hop group that Natty's JAH Boogie & Aaron joined in 2006. They broke up in 2009 just as the album was released, which is a shame because not enough people will hear this masterpiece! Natty Nation
