[Hard Blak – Mums] Peep the math Mau Mau be about land and freedom Reparation and apologies, for Africa to America odysseys Guerilla-type tactics on them socialistic fallacies It be about, the devastations of the social darwinistic thought Keep a brown man down sport They wantin’ to keep our end of fetch and step The way Franz Fanon put it, you lucky I ain’t read *Wretched* yet

[Big Black Afrika – Mos Def] Yo, you fucked up in the game now It’s Big Black, Mr. Chairman of the Mau Mau I hear the world in all-black surround sound Barricaded so you can’t move around now Doin this for my clan that ain’t around now Buried six feet deep beneath the ground now My loud sound pound down make the earth crush in and bow down There’s faultlines in the ground now – shake ’em down

[Smooth Black – Charli Baltimore] Black Chevy, Mau Maus, gats ready BLAOW BLAOW, black deadly, femme fatale Underground, rats in this rat race And black race cats sell out to the blackface And rag grin, laugh not my light skin Be S-M-O-O-T-H from pH UHH, backseat strappin in Cause I’m the only bitch with Big Black and them
