<pre><font size='+2'>ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR OWN HISTORY lyrics JUNGLE BROTHERS</font><br>You don`t know who you are<br />
<br />
Look back into your past, brother<br />
<br />
Look back into your past, sister<br />
<br />
Look back into your past, sister<br />
<br />
Look back into your past, brother<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[Afrika]<br />
<br />
My forefather was a king<br />
<br />
He wore fat gold chains and fat ruby rings<br />
<br />
Nobody believes this to be true<br />
<br />
Maybe it`s because my eyes ain`t blue<br />
<br />
You ain`t gonna find it in your history book<br />
<br />
Come here, young blood, and take a look<br />
<br />
Dig down deep inside this hard cover<br />
<br />
Don`t you know you was bought, brother<br />
<br />
All you read about is slavery<br />
<br />
Never about the black man`s bravery<br />
<br />
You look at the pictures and all they show is<br />
<br />
Afrikan people with bones in their noses<br />
<br />
That ain`t true, that`s a lie<br />
<br />
You didn`t get that from my lemon pie<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[Mike G]<br />
<br />
Yeah, I cut class, I got a D<br />
<br />
Cause History meant nothing to me<br />
<br />
Except a definite nap<br />
<br />
That`s why I always sat in the back<br />
<br />
I`d talk to girls or write a rhyme<br />
<br />
Cause I didn`t know (all times are black man`s times)<br />
<br />
When I was young my mama told me stories<br />
<br />
Of black peoples` fight to bring us glory<br />
<br />
I used to think these were stories to put me to sleep<br />
<br />
But now I know mama`s talk wasn`t cheap<br />
<br />
I know Afrika`s for Afrikans<br />
<br />
And history`s the blood of every woman and man<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
"Now I begin another search, the incredibly involved<br />
<br />
The incredibly difficult and incredibly frustrating search<br />
<br />
Trying to pull together the history of a people"<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[Afrika]<br />
<br />
Page one, page two, page three<br />
<br />
And still no signs of me<br />
<br />
Yeah, so I looked into the table of contents<br />
<br />
They wrote a little thing about us in the projects<br />
<br />
Only history we make is if we kill somebody<br />
<br />
Rape somebody, but other than that we`re nobody<br />
<br />
Speaking like a Brother living in the Jungle<br />
<br />
I know I was here first but I remain humble<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[Mike G]<br />
<br />
Now it`s time to rekindle the fire<br />
<br />
A tribe of young brothers with the eye of the tiger<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[Afrika]<br />
<br />
Acknowledge your own, we have a home<br />
<br />
Put on this earth to live and roam<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[Mike G]<br />
<br />
Christopher chose to explore<br />
<br />
DISCOVERED AMERICA! Yeah, sure<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[Afrika]<br />
<br />
He thought the planet was square<br />
<br />
Travelled many places, we already had been there<br />
<br />
We left tracks, backtrack back<br />
<br />
First civilisation, you know where that was found at<br />
<br />
Looking for the true black days of glory<br />
<br />
That`s history, that`s his story<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[Vinia Mojica 4x]<br />

You don`t know who you are

Look back into your past, brother

Look back into your past, sister

Look back into your past, sister

Look back into your past, brother

[Afrika]

My forefather was a king

He wore fat gold chains and fat ruby rings

Nobody believes this to be true

Maybe it`s because my eyes ain`t blue

You ain`t gonna find it in your history book

Come here, young blood, and take a look

Dig down deep inside this hard cover

Don`t you know you was bought, brother

All you read about is slavery

Never about the black man`s bravery

You look at the pictures and all they show is

Afrikan people with bones in their noses

That ain`t true, that`s a lie

You didn`t get that from my lemon pie

[Mike G]

Yeah, I cut class, I got a D

Cause History meant nothing to me

Except a definite nap

That`s why I always sat in the back

I`d talk to girls or write a rhyme

Cause I didn`t know (all times are black man`s times)

When I was young my mama told me stories

Of black peoples` fight to bring us glory

I used to think these were stories to put me to sleep

But now I know mama`s talk wasn`t cheap

I know Afrika`s for Afrikans

And history`s the blood of every woman and man

"Now I begin another search, the incredibly involved

The incredibly difficult and incredibly frustrating search

Trying to pull together the history of a people"
