Founding Ancestors

from Colonialism Is Going To Hell by Silver Spook

/

lyrics

Verse 1

White Founding Fathers, so-called movers and shakers
Wrote Iroquois wisdom on Chinese-invented paper
Stolen black slaves on stolen native nations
Denied Afro-Asian roots of Western civilization

Smashing black noses from statues to erase
Say 'pyramids were built by aliens from outer space'
Y'all just lucky that we come in peace
After Euro co-option of indigenous feats

Colonizers took 70,000 years of credit
Give it back or y'all are going to get it

Chorus

Give Founding Ancestors their due
To black women's math that put white man on the moon
Credit where credit is due
To indigenous wisdom that's going to save you
Give Founding Ancestors their due
To the Asian black powder you turned into cannons to rule
Credit where credit is due
To Pacific Navigators while y'all feared the deepest blue

Verse 2

No Indiana Jones stealing from pyramids
Anglo man making bank reading black glyphs
Desecrating mummies and Raiding Tombs
No Colonizing Temples & handing out Doom

All our relics and lands are coming back
Along with reparations as a matter of fact
Read the writing on your burning skyscraper walls
Western Civilization is fated to fall

Chorus

Give Founding Ancestors their due
To black women's math that put white man on the moon
Credit where credit is due
To indigenous wisdom that's going to save you
Give Founding Ancestors their due
To the Asian black powder you turned into cannons to rule
Credit where credit is due
To Pacific Navigators while y'all feared the deepest blue

Verse 3

Blackfoot science of communal perpetuation
Maslow twisted into selfish actualization
Your world is on fire, that you stole from the gods
Lit your own ass with it, you charlatan frauds

Chorus 3

Give Founding Ancestors their due
To black women's math that launched white man to the moon
Credit where credit is due
To indigenous wisdom that's going to save you
Give Founding Ancestors their due
All the trillions you've plundered - now it's all coming due
Credit where credit is due
We find our way in the stars, y'all still lost like fools
