Quote
"so hail to the" those noble ancestors who chose  freedom 
And Quote
Hail to you
In reverence to the presence
Of the long lost kings and queens
Everyone doesn't see
But you still shine
Like the lapis that used to dress
Crowns
Underneath the starvation
Greed fed to you
The tapered clothing
That was stolen off backs
Had to take flight
Now naked
found you wings
Refusal to be conquered
In Africa you cling
To those who would not give up
I praise your death
And the suffering you endured
I will grab the fire once again
This generation will ignite the flames
They tried to drown
I will resurrect the revolution
And take back our minds
Now listen....
one's before me
To the phoenix rhyme
Ph-ph-ph phoenix
Not afraid to dis-dis-dispel
Always so sure of the spell
Knowing you will come back again
And again
And again
Alchemize
It's time to Alchemize
Slumber so long
Now transmute into
Lifelongs
Immortality-immor-immor-immortality
Mother Africa
Everlastingly
prolonged
