I's going home
I’s been a monarch before Columbus discovered America
I’s was made in the image of God
I’s been challenged by the land
I’s lived and fought with the lion
I’s wasn’t lying around reclining in the sun
I’s hands were quick to work
From dawn to dusk
I’s built pyramids, sculptures, gold jewelry, and ancestral art
I’s was Einstein within my own elements
But you relocated I’s people to an unknown land
Now I’s forced to take the roll of the fool
What’s 40 acers and a mule?
When I’s people stretched from the Horn to Southern Africa
I’s a beautiful people
I’s a 100% opposite from every ethnic group on Earth
I’s God creation who has had to fight since birth
I’s secretly controlled by this new World
But I’s been in a cocoon for 400 years
I’s waiting on my cue to break free from sinful cartoon
That you call life
I’s going back to my home
Where the hyena laughs with me
Where the elephants greets me with thunder
Where the lions prepare my throne
I’s walked on gold
And slept on diamonds
I’s going home
