Tekst piosenki
In 1492 you came upon these shores
Seven hundred years, educated by the moors;
17th Century– genocide and the gun
Middle Passage blessed to market the Africans
In the so-called „”Land of God””
My kind were treated hard
From back then until now
I see, and you agree–
We have been a misrepresented people
From back then until now
Just see my family tree;
We have been a misrepresented people
We have been a misrepresented people
19th century– slavery destroyed
Soldiers who fought and won
What”s known as „”nigga-boys””
20th century– with freedom in my hand
We invent ideas
Which helped us save a land
But while I prayed to God
My moms and pops got whored
From back then until now
You”ll see our history;
We have been a misrepresented people
From back then until now
Just see my family tree;
We have been a misrepresented people
Yes, we have been a misrepresented people
1969– Black power’s at the door
1982– Hop-hop was on the floor
1992– Gangsta crack prevailed
1999– Our colors filled the jails
It is through the grace of God
That we all were not scarred
From back then until now
We see no comedy;
We have been a misrepresented people
From back then until now
Were we still a mystery;
We have been a misrepresented people
Yes, we have been a misrepresented people
Though we march across time
A sea of victories
We have been a misrepresented people
From back then until now
You know we made you grow;
We have been a misrepresented people
We have been a misrepresented people
From back then until now
We see our destiny
To never be a misrepresented people
Yes, we march across to time to free
A melody
To never be a misrepresented people
No you must never be a misrepresented people
