Sankofa - Stokley

Sankofa makes history a current event

It looks back but it’s always moving forward

I reflect as I walk ahead

Remember as I blaze a path

Precious jewels in my head

The future’s powered by my past

We trying to move ahead, move ahead

World can’t hold us back no more

Time to move ahead, move ahead

Move ahead and take what’s yours

Back ahead to find ur way

Back into ur destiny

Back ahead to find ur way

Let the winds of yesterday

Fly u thru the galaxy

Back ahead to find ur way

Sankofa

Harvest from a planted seed

Knowing the soil is the history

The strength under my wings

Are the spirits that came before me

We trying to get ahead, get ahead

World can’t hold us back no more

Time to move ahead, move ahead

Move ahead and take what’s yours

Create your reality

From ancient rivers

Flow all new streams

Sankofa

Back ahead to find ur way

Back into ur destiny

Back ahead to find ur way

Let the winds of yesterday

Fly u thru the galaxy

Back ahead to find ur way

Sankofa

It’s been loud it’s been dark

It’s been heavy it’s been cold

Then I turned around rediscovered

The stories of love we’re all told

Back ahead to find ur way

Back into ur destiny

Back ahead to find ur way

Let the winds of yesterday

Fly u thru the galaxy

Back ahead to find ur way
