We are made of everything of the Americas Of the blood and dirt from Cuba to Jamaica
We are the kings, queens, knights and chiefs
Who are being invaded by the European thief
We had empires, chiefdoms and dukedoms
Before the colonizers came and nuked them
We are the people of land of Lemuria or Mu
We are the opposing energy of Atlantis too
We are ancient Mayans to the fabled Olmecs
We are the Aztecs, Inca and Mexican Toltec
Connected to all the islands in the Caribbean
Tribes of Taino, Arawak and American Indian
Across these lands north, central and south
From Ohio valley down the Mississippi mouth
New York, Virginia, Alabama, and Tennessee
N. Carolina, Illinois and Pennsylvania is all we
We are the Catawba, Siouan, and the Lenape
We are Cheyenne, Seneca and the Shawnee
Algonquin, Iroquois and Cherokee are a few
Seeing from a Chickasaw and Powhatan view
Consisting of Ciboney, Welsh and Issa stock
Born of aboriginal, indigenous Monacan flock
We are the colored, nigger, black and negro
We are the Naga and this dragon land’s hero
We are Macah, Shoshone, west coast Yurok
We are Cali Indians of Chinook and Mordocs
We have Blackfoot and Pueblo all in our veins
We have historical ancestral aches and pains
We are the true copper-color American face
We are the remnants of the first original race
We are called everything from the bad to evil
We are to lable ourselves HWH’s pure people
