Remember when I was a cell in an ancient ancestor as he contemplated the future...
Remember when you were African and the whole planet recognized you as such... There was no Chinese man, no European, no Indian.
Pacific or Atlantic see?
I once suspended in the helix as it spun off new fruit.
Once when we new ruled over Egypt and the known and unknown worlds...
Children formed of the sun and we knew that we were formed of sons formed of the sun see?.
We became Zulu... We became Ashanti... We became the Semite and the white man.
We forgot these things over time for we were a spiritual people... not easily moved by doctrine.
We grew and spread and conquered new lands... we powerful were the threat.
We carried the ability to eradicate all other races in our loins... Our seed and fruit so vibrantly alive.
Remember when we looked at the water and saw him emerge from the fog... Our son so pale see?
We welcomed him and taught him knowledge which he took back to Greece and Rome and called it his own.
He called us primitives and savages and stole our riches as he waged war... Physical and mental.
Shaka knew of his coming... See?
Cannons booming as proof of us was turned into dust... As great halls of learning burned and ships carried away our story to the Vatican and the Bastille... Great caravans spoken of in secret chambers.
Our lives were now changed... Musa and Ibrahim were made white men... Even their names were rearranged.
They came in peace while annihilating whole tribes.
They carried a cross and hung men from it see?
Made the white Jesus god and the pig meat good.
Remember when they took you young one and cast you into the belly of the beast... took your manhood and savagely your virginity.
Blood stains on wooden boards on the way to being delivered.
I in the structure of a melanated man working in the hot sun from whence my ancestors came...
I with no recollection of being free... See?
I remember when I became Nigger, Negro, Afro Amerikkkan, Black and finally African hyphenated Amerikkkan, yet still a nigger see?
 I remember all these things on a hereditary level...
Eye-stinc-tually.
Remember when they spoke of me around a fire in Africa...
See?
