“In 1492 you came upon these shores
Seven hundred years, educated by the Moors
17th Century: genocide and the gun
Middle Passage blessed (etymology = ‘cursed’) to market the Africa.

In the so-called “Lands of God”
My kind were treated hard
From back then until now
I see, and you agree
We have been a misrepresented people
From back then until now
Just see my family tree
We have been a misrepresented people
We have been a misrepresented people” ~ (Lyrics from: Genius)
