I am an afriKan
the blood in my vein
sings
i am the adventurous survivor
the lone spirit traveller
atop the cold atlantic waters
and beneath the seas
where my kindreds' bones lie in wait
i am an afriKan
emergent of Euro-American slavery
colonial encounters in bravery borne
world bank, imf and wto
yet still we rise
i am an afriKan
now i survive
but all i want is to thrive
so long!
