Do you know your roots
Do you know your home
Do You know your people
Represent your own
Do you practice culture
Do you see longevity
Will you go back home
Will you bring prosperity

Where am I from
Who are my people
What is my tongue
Where is my chiefdom
What is my tribe
What is my region
If you're born a slave how do you know freedom

Learnt the ways of the looters and pillagers 
Those who don't know I lable them villagers 
Big City Life took away my innocence Now
I'm older and I know what the mission is

It's to visit my roots Rediscover my self 
Take what I've learnt let us built new wealth
A king isn't known for the castles he's built
A real King is known for the people he helps

With this crown on my head now my home protect 
If you ask me Europe owes us a check 
The Belgian Congo, British in the West 
France in the North Never punished for their theft

Took our culture called us backward
Took our riches and left us a language 
Put us on boats to their home we were captives 
Took our self love put shame in our blackness

Look to today have things really changed
Breaking off chains doesn't mean we're not slaves
We follow their lead  practice their ways
When royalty is coursing right through our veins

So I call myself Mwata connect to my roots 
Try to be a leader in all that I do
The power in me is the power in you 
It time to wake up time to speak our truth 

Sleeping Giant is what they have named us
Truth is they fear what would happen if we wake up 
Make us fight eachother is how they manipulate us 
Killing everyone who speaks against their status 

Patrice Lumumba, Thomas Sankara
Muamar Ghadafi killed our brothers 
I wanna be a leader Young Mwanawasa 
You wanna tell me can you answer 

Do you know your roots
Do you know your home
Do You know your people
Represent your own
Do you practice culture
Do you see longevity
Will you go back home
Will you bring prosperity

Where am I from
Who are my people
What is my tongue
Where is my chiefdom
What is my tribe
What is my region
If you're born a slave how do you know freedom
