My name is NOT Toby
it is Kunta Kinte
I am Africa's son
who was stolen
your lashes can't make
me surrender
I keep on telling you
you are below under
My name is not Toby
that is the name of my disgrace
my people know me of the bravery
I gave
My name is Kunta Kinte
It comes from my tribe
where I was a man.
Don't put labels on me that are'nt
real,my name is my identity
that I took with me , you cannot
take or steal it,
Leave me be,
Whip at me until I bleed,
beat my spirit out of me
but my name is Kunta Kinte ,
make all people watch as you
put me on this scene , make one of my own beat me until
I cant see
But my name is Kunta Kinte
I will keep it within my heart,
I will never forget it
Just like I didn't at the start
my name is Kunta Kinte
it's strong names too
My father gave it to me
so maybe I can have an image too
You can take my name, you take my destiny
My name is Kunta Kinte
my eyes can't keep open
will you keep on whipping me ?
YOU WILL NOT TAKE MY NAME !
My name is Kunta Kinte
That's what it is ..
My blood dropping to the floor... I cant take it anymore
My name is Kunta Kinte
That's what it is
My name is Toby
that's what the master wants
it to be..
