Go Back To Africa
Go back to Africa!
Gwendolyn Todd
Go back to Africa!
Africa?
The Motherland
Whose mother?
If I went back to Africa, would the mother,
daughter, son bond be as strong?
Would my people recognize me?
Would my fruit be the same fruit
that falls from their family tree?
Slavery has made me an orphan.
Murdered, slaughtered, I'm the ancestor
of many bastard sons and daughters.
Go back to Africa?
Go back to Africa.Go home!
Shouldn't there be a neighborhood
I could call my own?
Shouldn't there be a house party that I could attend?
Shouldn't there be someone
I could call my friend?
Go back to Africa. Get out!
Where would I go?
Nambia, Zambia, Ghana or Nairobi.
Ripped from my mother's breast as an
infant your fathers bought and sold me.
Go back to Africa!
What language would I speak?
Arabic, Swahili, Ibo or Zulu.
Admit it.. The real reason you want me
to leave is, I'm stronger than you thought,
Achieving what you thought I couldn't achieve.
Go back to Africa..
Tell me who would my people be?
Bantu, Ashanti, Dinka or Fulani.
Go back to Africa?
Who would I be, with no identity?
Searching, looking, trying to fit in.
Would I even be considered a friend?
Go back to Africa...
I hear you say.
go back to Africa, we hate you anyway.
Go back to Africa..
You lying, stealing, breeding coons
Go back to Africa you mixed up quadroons.
Go back to Africa..
Well, I guess I'll see you there.
Remember the affair you had with my
Grandmother, aunt and sister?
How do you think I got here?
You say to your friends,
"I can't stand them niggers."
But you left your wife
for a taste of my sweet sugar.
Go back to Africa.
Well. I guess we'd all better leave!
Go back to Africa!
Go back to Africa! Go back to Africa!
