INTRO
HEH!! Yow Kezzi!!
You know where we heading to right?
Because we know where we from.
Mmmh GREATNESS!!
I will tell you about it.
Got to know where you’re from.
You know that’s the first rule, you know what I mean.
Yu know wah mi a seh!!

CHOROUS
See I’m ever bless, survive every test.
Brought in the west but the mind never left
Cause I never lose my Africaness
I never lose lose my Africaness

VERSE 1
Hey Hey!!
Big things a gwaan, are you down with it?
Mix a likkle black and likkle brown wid it.
Still I love everyone though.
Colour is not an issue but you made it so.
OHHH!! It’s what it is, what it is?
Repping for the culture cause we loving these kids.
Uh uh!! Suh mek mi tell yu wah gwaan.
Di future depend pon how we perform.
Wow!! Whul heep a things happen before mi born
Now it’s seems everyone figet weh dem a come from
See I’ve been on since the breaking a dawn
Look in the earth you can see the lion’s palm.

CHOROUS
I’m ever bless, survive every test.
Brought in the west but the mind never left
Cause I never lose my Africaness
I never lose lose my Africaness
What they hide and they kept, still I couldn’t forget
Different names and title we get
Still I never lose my Africaness
I never lose my Africaness.

VERSE 2
I said I never lost, never lose, never lose it.
Nutten nuh change, never diluted.
Yu can’t kill di star a di movie
I will return like Tuesday
HEYA!! Seh di kids a cry suh loud.
We are one I beg yu don’t divide di crowd.
When yu mek a search then you’ll find it out
Who you are you’ll be standing suh proud.
Who we are? Still ain’t got a answer.
You won’t hear the truth from a gambler
Cause he knows knowledge neutralise anger
You’ll be smarter than a banker.

BRIDGE
Holding on firm strong, never will I forget where I’m from.
Connect to di root, to di stem, to di branch
Alkebulan stretch forth her hands.
Holding on firm strong, never will I forget where I’m from.
Connect to di root, to di stem, to di branch
Alkebulan stretch forth her hands.
Interlude
Choirs Sings………….

CHOROUS
See I’m ever bless, survive every test.
Brought in the west but the mind never left
Cause I never lose my Africaness
I never lose lose my Africaness
What they hide and they kept, still I couldn’t forget
Different names and title we get
Still I never lose my Africaness
I never lose my Africaness.

OUTRO
