[Intro: Jacinto Rhines & Blu]
[?]
Blue interlude
What's wrong the beast's sky blue hue?
[?] where dark culture grew
Before the Dutch man came his claim Zulu land in apartheid's name
Slowed the - so low down the white hunters sink to make this beauty beast extinct
Blue beast of beauty made by God
Zulu man's brother man his native man saw
A green land turned blue by pale weak men who care not what their creed would do
[?]
They raid sweet lands of the beasty blue
Blue like blue sea, blue like blue sky, blue like blue me
All blue like you and I beyond the melody
Yo, check it

[Verse 1: Blu]
Yo, I'm the first man standing upright, holding a stone in my hand
After beating an ape, claiming the land
Taking the stand and feeding my fam
Back when man ate they children
I'm killing other animals just to nurture them
I journey further from mine, my people, into another culture
Not knowin' my brothers 'bout to come and take over (Ayo)
We made it all the way to Asia and to Australia
Then made the passage to the Americas after all behavior
Came home and they started makin' homes outta stone
Showin' tribes around 'em how much they've grown
Yo, I'm normal at the end of the of start of civilization
I'm shuttin' it down, I'm settin' out to build a nation
I'm the son of Ra, the son of Ka, father of Africa
King Khafre and King Khufu, blood of the Zulu
Osiris, Isis, Horus, Anubis, the Royal family
Akhenaten, Tutankhamun and all the Ramesses
Amam and Hotep, Mentuhotep, Thutmosis
Ahmosis, Kamosis, etymology of Moses
I'm the kings of Egypt, kings of Nubia, Mesopotamia
Mediterranean, Babylon, Saudi Arabia
I'm Muhammad comin' outta the Middle East after the Romans
Reclaiming their gold, home and their throne 'cause they own it
I'm on the first boats to reach America
We all African, we sold you to America, we not coming back
[Interlude: Jacinto Rhines]
Blue antelope, no more to be
Like lynching rope with no more hope
Blue beastie, beauty antelope, no more there
[?]
Oh blue, the tragic cruelty
[?]

[Verse 2: Blu]
Ayo, I'm Adam, the original man banned from the garden
I'm Noah, pardon the flood, after the revolution started
I'm Japheth, I'm Shem and I'm Ham
I'm Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the motherland
I'm Moses posin' against the king, freein' his people
I'm Babylon, tryna reach God by buildin' a steeple
I'm the strongest man, Samson, I'm the first king, Samuel
The prestigious king, Saul, son of King David, I'm Solomon
I'm preachin' to the choir like Elijah
Isaiah, Jeremiah and, not a king higher than King Hezekiah
I'm on fire like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
I'm Jonah and the whale, Daniel in the lion's den
And I'm Job with just a little hope, I'm John The Baptist
The Messiah's comin', God's son, Jesus Christ of Nazerath
Thank Matthew, Mark, Luke and John for the narrative
And Paul for all the passages
Apostolic Episcopal before Constantine, constant persecution
First century, eventually, revolution
Islam, sixth century and on and on
Slavery, where are you takin' me to, huh? America?
[Interlude: Jacinto Rhines]
[?]
"Revenge be mine" speak God divine
Nature's pain, payback is so much more

[Verse 3: Blu]
Yo, I'm Kunta Kinte 'fore he was enslaved by America
Picture the freedom before the terror
Who had to carry the black burners to Nat Turner
During a slave revolt, we came before Columbus dumped us
Off the slavery boat, the Underground Railroad, Harriet Tubman
Yeah, we probably would still be slaves if it wasn't for Fredrick Douglas
I'm up in his government before all them like Booker Washington
With all his boys like W.E.B. Du Bois
And Noble Drew Ali and Marcus Garvey
Takin' us to Africa like Chancellor Williams, Chandler Owens and Asa Randolph
Last of all Muhammad, the honorable Elijah Muhammad

And everyone else creating black history
That lives with me everyday, until I'm gone
[Interlude: Jacinto Rhines]
Tasmanians all crossed death's cold door
Wiped out by [?]
Convict's corruption to hate's inner core
They took a dark skin and they made a purse for a pale skin whore

We see you brother, Mandela

[Outro: Jacinto Rhines]
[?] put you on this Earth, and who are they to score your worth?
[?]
Oh this world will never be the same
Lord all of mankind, self hate, shamed, dog, free child would know your name
You looked so free before the raper came
Blue before the racist killer came
[?]
Concerned about that dope
Those who cannot cope
[?]
Blue more than you, blue more than me
Blue like sky, sea
We're all blue like you and I beyond the melody
And after 1799, not one blue brother left to find
Last one shot, that hate year
[?]
This world has never been the same
[?]
Oh bluuuueeee, oh bluueeee, oh bluuueeee
All blue, all blue
Untamed
