But we have to live it out daily-lee-lee-lee (Everyday)
A time to reaffirm our values and our identity
And fight the negative results of slavery
It’s start was 1966 by Maulana Karenga
I tell you that ya man he is a professor

The roots of Kwanzaa come from Afrika
We the Afrikans living in the diaspora
We pull upon this energy so we can prosper
