Be a Teacher

If you teach the youth that our history started with slaves

They will behave with depraved indifference to ending up in a grave too soon

The mentality garnered from a government curriculum, produces kids numb to what they can become

Leaves kids unaware of their power to create

Look around your neighborhood for proof

Teach our youth the truth;

Our history started millions of years ago in the Congo,

In Kemet in Kush,

From Egypt to the Bush

Great Warriors, Kings, and Queens

Improve a child’s dreams by telling them the whole story from the beginning;

Our history did not start with slavery.

Be a teacher

At home or in the community show you care with unity of thought and foresight for the future

Help our children design their future, shining with positivity

And their present is unwrapped everyday with expectation of joy

Be a teacher but first educate yourself.

Read more than fifty shades and ghetto dramas

Educate the youth, write your own books

They will imitate you; show them a positive example and how it looks.

Don’t give your kids to the school system

We need mystery schools again,

To learn and grow, to cultivate our life force

Only heading north, eyes toward the sky

Be more than that adult living in that house with that child

Train them to explore

To be bold in their desire to learn more and restore the power of their,

And your people

Our people.

Be a teacher

Show love everywhere you go and know it’s coming back

The love shown unites us, and we have to be organized

Otherwise they’ll try to use tricks and guise to keep us away from the prize

And it’s already within us

Let us arise and be wise to what we possess and not let any amount of cruelty upend us

Love yourself

Love the people

Be a teacher.
