featuring Gamilah Shabazz
"I was born.." [Big Daddy Kane] A black man from the motherland Speakin a language today most people don`t understand where no one could bother me cause I had freedom, justice, and equality But then one day it was tooken away and I was shipped to the U.S.A. A young brother, made into a slave to harvest the midlands and clean the chittlins Given a new name, new religion No freedom to vote, not even to make a decision I saw my peoples, sold raped and took out The rest of that stuff that Alex Haley talks about They said I`m not from Asia I`m from Africa And all the blacks there now are just scavengers That`s the way my mind was poisoned to believe that in America blacks are inferior A weak mind and a body of swine only adds up to being - deaf dumb and blind Illiterate to who where what and why So I ask myself: who am I? "I was born.." [Big Daddy Kane] A native New Yorker on the streets Known for rockin rhymes to real rough beats that I found in the attic, noisy with static A sound that made me, a hip-hop fanatic I made a few songs that sold OK Never top 20 or plenty airplay I came out hardcore, flexin cock diesel Saw a little cash, and pop goes the weasel I had to make that change and rearrange my whole rap format, no hardcore rap So now all the pop charts I rule over New Kids on the Block and Paula Abdul, huh I thought I made it, then my song faded and none of the black stations ever have played it I tried to blame it on MTV and say, "Damn, they cold played me for Young MC" But when you get down to it, I`m the real blame because I wanted the fame Money is not only the root of all evil It`s also the destruction of black people, so conjunction junction, what`s your function? Bein a scout, or sellin out? Look in the mirror at yourself, eye to eye and say: who am I? [Gamilah Shabazz] A solid change, have to rearrange this strange feelin I`m feelin, so appealin I am having to deal with Time to forget the myth, of bein black and a woman Can`t get ahead, walkin on a thread, a tightrope Can`t cope, don`t be a dope, have a little bit of hope Runnin your scope on affairs You have to be aware, don`t flare up Let your cup runneth over I`m not Irish, don`t need a donut to fill up my dish nor two mango wish to wish on a star, they`re so far Anyway I`m thinkin about today, not tomorrow I`m not a follower of anyone My time has come, it`s already here My message is clear Like the women of long ago, I am also here also to show, I have the courage Have the strength, I`m for equal opportunity no matter the life, length of time Show me a sign, should I rely on a subliminal message, should I question what would seem to be, life`s told me? Yes indeed, so let me speak [Big Daddy Kane] And that`s comin from the daughter of Malcolm X So black women put it in your texts so you can never let, opportunity pass you by or even ask yourself, who am I?
