Title: HEARTBEAT OF A PEOPLE Post by: Sis_Iyabinghi on June 26, 2003, 04:58:48 PM Freedom is a concept, on has to know
That a seed planted must grow From the depths of the sea Our ancestors are a'coming Triumphantly chanting and singing The heartbeat of a people. Slaves, ships, La Amistad, Jesus of Lubeck Cinque, Kunta Kinte, Cudjoe Nanny of the maroons, running, Fighting for freedom, liberty Triumphantly chanting, singing The heartbeat of her people. Auction blocks, human bodies Standing tall, Mandingo, Ibo, Ashanti, Akan, Falasha, Nubian Cowering, fearful, weeping, wailing, Triumphantly chanting and singing The heartbeat of our people. White men wiping their faces Afrikan woman her child she embraces White women fanning their brows Fantasizing as the Mandingo shouts Triumphantly chanting and singing The heartbeat of his people. Marcus Garvey, Haile Sellassie, Winnie Mandela, Queen Nyahbinghi, Shaka of the Zulu, Miss Sojourner, negro spirituals Harriet Tubman, Bob Marley, reggae virtuoso Triumphantly chanting and singing The heartbeat of my people. Four hundred years, only twenty-eight days To say, freedom still seems so far away Twenty-eight days to know The seed planted must grow Triumphantly chanting and singing The heartbeat of your people. Stretch forth your hands to Afrika Greatness shall come out of Egypt and Ithiopia And freedom flows through I'n'I Kings and Queens, Princes and Princesses Triumphantly chanting and singing The heartbeat of a People. Iya'shanti. FREE AFRIKA AND AFRIKANS!!!!! "AFRIKA FOR THOSE AT HOME AND ABROAD!" Title: Re: HEARTBEAT OF A PEOPLE Post by: ROOTSWOMAN on June 28, 2003, 10:25:01 AM YES I!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
