We were more than savages
Explored the world several times and knew it was round
Passing the knowledge along creating minds above average
Mapped the heavens with feet on the ground

Explored the world several times
Erected pyramids on a grand scale
Mapped the heavens with great accuracy
Crossing oceans as we learned to sail

Erected pyramids matching the skies
Empires ruled by Queens and Kings
Crossing oceans with colossal ships
Our people knew of great things

Empires ruled by Queens and Kings
Mansa Musa, Queen Hatshepsut, Hannibal Of Carthage, Queen Ahmose-Nefertari
Our people knew of many things
Math, physics, architecture, astronomy

Mansa Musa, Hatshepsut, Hannibal, Ahmose-Nefertari
Passing the knowledge down creating minds above average
Math, physics, architecture, astronomy
We were more than savages
