The whole world is in debt

from EL'Negro by Nathaniel Star

lyrics

I ask God to forgive me for my transgressions
But give me the strength to breathe fire for my ancestors
So I can with the strength of a thousand slaves
That got raped, murdered, and brutalized in a thousand ways
Long before we marched with Martin Luther
We marched to Timbuktu with a King named Mansa Musa

I bomb atomically with Afrikan philosophies
The prophecy wants redemption for the untold atrocities
So logically, or maybe I should say pathologically
(seen)
They say for Chicago (we're dying everywhere)
I say pray for tomorrow
(one more once)
They say pray for Chicago
(true story)
I say pray for tomorrow

Auntie Harriet, we shall follow
You into the night, our north star of tomorrow
Weepless sorrow, a nap sack, and these worn clothes
And a map to freedom written in my daughters' cornrows
Written in my daughters' cornrows
The map to freedom written in my daughters' cornrows
Day to night, night turns to day
Here I stand so not afraid
In the face of the tyrant scream
I am my ancestor's wildest dreams!!
