Almamegretta – Black Athena lyrics

(Raiss) Sienteme bbuono chiammame cu'o nomme mio nun tengo ggenio 'e
pazzia'
se pazzea cu'a panza chiena 'a mia e' vacante 'a verita' tu me hai purta'
rispetto si me vide tenimmo 'e stessi nonni nu me cride? Chi songo?
I' songo l'ommo niro ca vene 'a dint' 'a jungla songo 'o figlio 'e Lumumba
si nun me saje piglia' songo 'na bomba e si nun saje ca e' 'a casa mia ca
e'
accuminciata a storia rinfriscate 'a memoria.
(Dre Love) Original man you got to understand we were all Africans yes the
knowledge of myself makes me a better self so pick that dusty book up off
the shelf and read the truth read the truth science was created in Timbuctu
center of the world is Africa the rythm of the drum comes from Africa.
look back look back Athena was black Athena was black if you look back
(Raiss) ma te hai visto bbuono int' 'o specchio ma te hai maje guardato
'nfaccia
(Dre Love) look back look back Athena was black Athena was black if you
look
back
(Raiss) ma te hai visto bbuono dint' 'o specchio 'e che culore tiene 'a
faccia.
(Dre Love) Realise visualize open your eyes truth and lies we will despise
oppressed must rise.
(Raiss) Ht Nt Neit Tanit Tanussit Athena te 'o sto dicenno mo si nun ce hai
maje penzato primma 'o munno e' tunno e 'a quanno
e' tunno gira 'a gente sienteme bbuono tiene mente te pare ca nun stevo
bbuono 'a casa mia a te te pare bella chesta vita mia se sape ca chi piglia
sempe po' adda da' pe' te e' 'o mumento 'e spartere pe' mme chillo 'e
piglia'.
