Black History Is World History

Marvin X

I was

I was

you found me not long ago

and called me Lucy

I was four million years old

I had my tools beside me

I am the first man

call me Adam

I walked the Nile from Congo to Delta

a 4,000 mile jog

before Abraham, before Hebrew was born

I am Canaan, son of Ham

I laugh at Arabs and Jews

I lived in Saba, Southern Arabia

I played in the Red Sea

dwelled on the Persian Gulf

When Babylon acted a fool, that was me

I was the fool

When Babylon fell, that was me

I fell
