[Verse 1]
Two thousand years I and I want to cross over
Two thousand years I and I on ya
Babylon try to keep us down with brute force then brutality
And still they cyaan not get our personality (seen)
[Verse 2]
For I and I foreparents, I know, they are strictly African
And, yes, we all chant down babylonian
A long time, a long time I and I are African (yeah)
A long time, a long time I and I are African
[Verse 3]
For I and I foreparents, I know, they are strictly African
And, yes, we all chant down babylonian
A long time, a long time I and I are African
A long time, a long time I and I are African (yeahs)
[Verse 4]
The wicked, they try to keep us down with the lots of inequity
And still they cyaan not get our men morality
Try to keep us down (no, no, no, no, no)
They try to keep us down
[Verse 5]
For I and I foreparents, I know, they are strictly African
And, yes, we all gonna chant down babylonian
A long time, a long time I and I are African (yes)
A long time, a long time I and I are African
[Outro]
The wicked, they try to keep us down with the lots of inequity
And still they cyaan not get our men morality
