One thing I don't understand
How so many black people in America
Have no intention
Have no respect for their culture
I wonder why, I wonder why
But, anyway, I-man love
I-man love I-man black brethren in America (yes, greetings)
I-man love I-man black sistren in America
Even thouh they say that them a Yankee
Never, never, never, never mind that
A' me brethren (yes, greetings)
Never, never mind that a' me sistren
So they cause I an I people
To disown they people
But what a day when I an I people get together
Start to hold each other
What a feedback the wicked get
What a feedback the wicked get
What a feedback
Let me light my spliff
Get a clean and deep meditation
About black people hist'ry and culture
Greetings
What a feedback the wicked get
What a feedback the wicked get
What a feedback
Yes, greetings
