I have learned that I am African that I have African blood

I have African brothers that protect me and will not let me fall

 I've learned about the atrocities that slaves went through

I've walked through the dungeons and smelled and seen the horrors that slaves experienced

I stood in the female dungeon and heard the cries for help and felt the fear that these women went through

I've learned that although whipped and chained their determination and strength could not be stripped from them

Now that I know, I cannot keep my voice oppressed.

Now that I know, its my responsibility to tell you the truth

No one can stop me because I too am African and my ancestors do not want revenge but justice
