We are the Father of Inventions
From the past to present day
For the world has improved
From discoveries we made
Since the beginning of man
In the Black Continent
Black Pharaohs and Kings
Ruled the land of Kemet
It's where Democracy and Papyrus
And the Pyramids began
And that belief for one God
Has made Akhenaten the man
Timbuktu's Universities
Is where scholars first learned
And its secrets for knowledge
Was something they earned
There were other contributions
Black history has shown
Like the filament for light bulbs
That Latimer made known
And the auto traffic signal
Was a Morgan design
Granville Wood's telephone
Was the best of its kind
Refrigeration, air condition
Kept things from the heat
Thanks to Standard and Jones
Who gave us this treat
John Johnson made the wrench
And Flemmings the guitar
For Spikes auto shift
Was a dream for the car
But with all our discoveries
And inventions we've done
Recognition is something
We still haven't won
