(Chorus) What you know about the struggle and the pain,
That fighting for your dignity, day after day.
The warriors and thinkers, they all gave us glory,
But ain't no need to worry, 'cause this is OURSTORY!

Will the radio play that I'm proud to be a Black man, represent that almightly African,
The strongest force in the world just recognize all of the stress I'm handlin'.
The first people to look at their hands and to give it a name looked just like me and you,
We're the first people ever to look in the sky, trippin' out on that shade of blue.
What you know about Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania
That's the place where humanity began hold on I'm a make you a believer!
What you know about Ethiopia, this fact could never be debated,
The western world sat at our feet, in order to get educated!
We created biology, psychology and chemistry,
We were the first to deal with memory, to work with electrical energy.
Now let me unleash your memory, our stories more than misery,
It's brilliant creativity, it's spirit and resiliency!
Now the builders of Egypt, they weren't white men, we gotta start dealin' with that,
Egypt's real name is Kemet and the fact is that is the land of the Blz-nacks!
In other words we built the pyramids, that's truth some people can't handle,
But Black is beautiful, that first verse? That's just a sample.

(Chorus) What you know about the struggle and the pain,
That fighting for your dignity, day after day.
The warriors and thinkers, they all gave us glory,
But ain't no need to worry, 'cause this is OURSTORY!
What you know about building on the legacy,
Of ordinary people that lived their lives incredibly!
The warriors and thinkers, they all gave us glory,
But ain't no need to worry, 'cause this is OURSTORY!

Now let me break it down about Imhotep, that African father of medicine,
Cured hundreds of diseases for his sisters and his brethren.
Ride with a brother if you want to get more, what you wanna buy this CD for?
If you sick of the system lyin' you ready for the truth then c'mon, let's go!
What you know about Shaka the Great, military mind that helped to create,
The Zulu Nation so formidable that they study his tactics right to this day!
What you know about Queen Nzingha, that would-be enslaver defeater,
She fought the Portuguese for over 40 years, man we never beat her!
What you know about Dessalines the Ferocious he liberated Haiti
From the French and the Spanish (That's outlandish, that crazy!)
What you know about Denmark Vessey, Nat Turner, Gabriel Prosser,
These are the folks that sacrificed their today so we can take tomorrow!
Your ancestors were not cowards they stood up every day,
But the truth about our people is omitted from the history books consistently.
What you know about Marcus Garvey, he brought the Red, Black and the Green
And the largest organization of Black people that this world has ever seen!
What you know about Ida B. Wells, not the projects that are down on that low end,
She fought against the lynching of Black men, from the vicious mobs that attacked them.
What you know about Lewis Latimer, he invented the practical lightbulb,
Thomas Edison gets the shine but with us Brother Latimer you get much love!
What you know about Fred Hampton, what you know about Baba Pamoja,
What you know about Black people in America we are copied the whole world over!
What you know about you, the greatness that is deep within you,
Because I care about you this is the music I'm gonna give you!
