Verse 1 (Masani):
My Granny told me keep the Family together
Granny told me Keep on shining forever
Learn from her So that I can do better
Grateful that she taught These valuable lessons
I come from the Divine You can see it in My aura
My mother is a goddess And the ones who came Before her
It don’t matter if you Taking from the Bible Or the Torah
Cause the truth is all around you You just gotta go Explore it Like
You a Queen Please awaken from The slumber
God is within you The Earth is your mother
Look within tell me What you discover,
You a God or a slave, It’s either one or the other
All thanks to the ones Who walked before me
The Melanated queens They erased from the story
We still here gotta give God The glory
I’m open to receiving The abundance coming towards me
HOOK:
I can sense negative energies when they fester
Crosses and crescents stray you from the center
School of Sankofa helps you understand the mental
These stories honoring all my ancestors
Here to provide remedy if you under pressure
May they protect our serenity from those up against us
Teachings of Sankofa still continue to bless us
These stories honoring all my ancestors
Verse 2 (DT Ade)
Wine in my body put my keys up on the dresser
Just another day where I aint end up on a stretcher,
Fire and resilience havi sprinkle me like pepper,
Soul and my body elevate my ancestors
Sometimes body tired and wanna fold to damn pressure
Sometimes I need hold, the tears a flow like damn dancers
Sometimes my spirit cold I need a load of damn answers
In my DNA Its all there from my answers
How to build and provide and lead, i learned from all the masters
Need a hold of some strategies to earn from these investors, need to cook up a pot if greens, to feed my people better,
Need a letter, getting cheddar, getting healthy, keep me tethered, let me grow.
Ancestors keep me whole.
And on my shrine that cup gets poured, i close my eyes, my breathing slow,
I’m on the floor, I’m on my knees,
i pledge my seed, i pledge myself,
I use my health to elevate and lift and honor up all my ancestors.
HOOK:
I can sense negative energies when they fester
Crosses and crescents stray you from the center
School of Sankofa helps you understand the mental
These stories honoring all my ancestors
Here to provide remedy if you under pressure
May they protect our serenity from those up against us
Teachings of Sankofa still continue to bless us
These stories honoring all my ancestors
