Aiyyo put one in the air for the ancestors, y'know?
|
Cause without them, there'd be no us, that's real
|
There's something on my mind.. everyday, all the time
|
It's the legacy, y'know? Generations, of black people
|
Now bust this..
|
|
Aiyyo I think about this government, three strikes capital punishment
|
Enslaved my peoples for four hun-d-red
|
Yeah, plus some
|
Often dream of goin back in time and givin slaves guns {*BUK!*}
|
So they can watch the master run
|
Watch them devil try to get away then clap his back with the shotgun
|
I got one, let's cut his head off
|
Let's take it to Harriet Tubman, show her that we ready to set it off
|
She get Nat Turner, Nat go get Sojourner
|
Sojourner send a messanger for Touissant L'Overture
|
Through the underground railroad, we go
|
Through the dark to the edge of forrest to meet with Denmark
|
Vessey, you know he got soldiers ready
|
Ready to kill like lions, in the Serengeti
|
So like a stampede we rush the plantation
|
Settin fire to everything, burn them down like cremation
|
No hesitation, free up the black nation
|
Kill them devils take his ships and head back for the mainland
|
The game plan, yet and still it's just a dream
|
I never forget, in my mind it never leave, aiyyo
|
|
[Chorus 2X: Defari]
|
I never forget, in my mind it never leave
|
These dreams, filled with days of slavery
|
Never forget, in my mind it never leave
|
These dreams, filled with days of slavery
|

|
Yo, aiyyo Jamie was a slave
|
Every baby she'd have the master would take away
|
She never seen one long enough to give a name
|
Everytime the master would rape, Jamie'd feel ashamed
|
She was only fourteen
|
Violated, used and abused, far from a queen
|
I met Jamie in a dream
|
I gave her a brand new M-16 with two magazines
|
I told her next time he come around
|
Act like you want him, get him to lay down
|
Make sure that he take off his clothing
|
After that I want you to fill him up, full of bullet holes
|
Release the whole clip, set trip on that motherfucker
|
Tell him that's for disrespectin you and your mother
|
Your grandmother, your great-grandmother
|
Your brother your father, in the land they call the mother
|
Next thing you do is round up all the rest
|
Stay together and shoot your way to freedom, God bless, aiyyo
|
|
[Chorus] - 1.5X

|
Aiyyo, I got DJ Babu in the house
|
From the World Famous, Beat Junkies
|
Aiyyo, yo Babs how you feel about this?
|
And this goes out to all the ancestors
|
Especially to my grandmother (??)
|
The foundation, rest in peace
|
Love you grandma
