Blue Print (Official Audio) Lyrics

Blue Print (Official Audio) - Rosa Ree

...

We are kings but they tell us that we came from the dirt

Make believe is their game so they preach in reverse

Took our land, and our diamonds since before our birth

Brought us paper and convinced us that is what it was worth

And now would you believe me when I tell you we was violated

Everything we truly are was annihilated

Our culture and our heritage they fabricated

Wish I could deliver this message in my own mother’s language

They told us we were poor?

Do you know Mansa Mussa?

They told us we were stupid

Go learn about the moores

Said we were lazy then made us slaves to build their kingdoms

Delete our history so our children wouldn’t know their power

Who are they? And who are we? Who do you think that we could be?

If you are human where is your humanity?

Why do you love to profit from calamity?

Can’t you see this is all insanity?

I wish we knew

I wish you knew

I wish I knew

I am the blue print

I wish we knew

I wish you knew

I wish I knew

I am the blue print

We are the blueprint

They came to us, we told em welcome you can have a seat

Next day they told us get up you should stand up on your feet

We resisted of course it’s our place what do you mean

Then they brought out the big guns and forced us to kneel

So you think that is what makes you powerful

Steady thinking that your end is gonn be merciful

Superpower huh? Mmh doubtful

The art is ours, gold is ours and the culture too

Fools

It’s a shame that you can’t admit it

You locked our women up in cages just to see their bodies

Won’t allow us to rest in peace alive or dead

We are gods you should bow down to us instead

All the children of my forefathers

This is your birth right better come and take it back

Let it emanate let em know gold is black

Let our children know even though they call them dark

Our skin is evidence of royalty

I wish we knew

I wish you knew

I wish I knew

I am the blue print

I wish we knew

I wish you knew

I wish I knew

I am the blue print
