No! You should know me br tears and torn torsos br Heralded your dawn br Built your city br Under the eye of the sun br But you push me into br The wombs of dusk br br Ask! I conjured the berth br That carried the bed br Of your lustful ancestors br You were br But a mere thought br In the bossom of heated loins br I am your threshold br br You know me! br Wailings of my fathers br Should hunt your nights br And cast a hue on your days br Charred skin and clipped lips br Ripples of blood br From the fury of your whips br br Ah! You still don't know me? br I am your eden br You are my hades br And when before my sight br Your nation shall bow br I shall whisper; br You are white, I am black.
