Who Am I?
Who Am I?
Who Am I?
Who Am I?
Verse 1 (DT ADE)
I been true to myself since day one
Stand inside my shoes and you feel this great one.
Looking at the news you ah think that they won
But lookin at these views and I can only thank one
Thankful for my soul and my spirit and my body im alive.
And this melanin that covers all my body here inside.
And this fire that I spit with this passion how I cry,
Let them devils come and see how we arise.
Remember how Garvey he had built a fleet of boats?
Remember Mother Tubman how she went to free the folks?
Remember how they went and got Assata from that cell?
Remember all the riots when Mandela went to jail?
See cuz all the times that they tried to put to put us down then we arose.
Then looking down to the ground and we found that we a rose.
From the concrete, standing tens toes down on our goal
Standing head strong to those that we oppose.
Hook (DT ADE)
Far away from home but I dont know why.
Ancestors called now my soul on fye
[So I ask myself]
Who Am I? Who Am I?
Who Am I? Who Am I?
Getting wisdom down that I received from blood ties.
Embodying the melanin the spirit can’t deny
[So I ask myself]
Who Am I? Who Am I?
Who Am I? Who Am I?
Verse 2 (DT ADE)
(Who am I!)
The fruit of Garvey, The seed of Malcolm, A free Mutulu
(Who am I!)
The new Assata, Im Kwame Turé, I blaze Uhuru
(Who am I!)
I use my voice And swing machete, You need Kukuyu
(Who am I!)
I bring freedom and speak power to the Ndugu!
I bring the voodoo if necessary
I tool if its necessary
A master of deduction, bend the rules if its necessary
I’m standing ten down for my brothers, it never varies.
Education for the babies on my back cuz it gotta carry.
Ion hide when its gettin scary.
They try then they gettin buried.
I dream of a new world where we build,
I’m a visionary.
A pary, a different query,
Do worry no need to hurry
We standing on our principles and fight against adversaries.
(Who am I)
I’m a king, I’m a chief its a fact
(Who am I)
A protector and I got my brothers back
(Who am i)
Ima feed my babies so they never lack
(Who am I)
I’m from Africa I’m potent and im black
Hook 2

Who Am I? Who Am I?
Who Am I? Who Am I?
Getting wisdom down that I received from blood ties.
Embodying the melanin the spirit can’t deny
[So I ask myself]
Who Am I? Who Am I?
Who Am I? Who Am I?
