Atlantic slave trade
Sub-saharan slave trade
Indian ocean slave trade
All were human trade.

African slavery
Indigenous slavery
Export slavery
All was/is inhumanly.

Oh! poor man taken from his family
Oh! poor woman taken from her family
To a land you never dreamed
Your name forcefully changed.

Your pains were not noticed
Your cries were not noticed
Tears of blood
But no fear for the blood.

All you ate was garbage
You home was just the cage
But you fought till the end
And you won at the end.

Painful mark on your body
To claim ownership of you
Oh! what a painful experience
With a clear negligence.

They were brave
Even to their grave
They were called slaves
But they were never enslaved.

My fathers referred to as cargo,
Labourers of cocoa.
My ancestors were brutally killed,
But they showed bravely.

Some died instead
Some drowned instead
My father's name
Is my name

You declared freedom
Then introduced racism
Are we going backward?
Are we going forward?

My name is not for sell
I'm ready to go to jail
My father's name will not fall
It will always stand tall.

I am Uchenna
The Son of Okereke
Grandson of Nwankwo
Great grandson of Eze.
