We Were Kings — Before They Came Africa Was Already Great | Roots Of Africa Music

Before the Colosseum rose on Roman ground the pyramids were already heaven-bound. Before they drew our borders and renamed our cities — Africa was already the greatest civilization on earth. Imhotep was healing the sick. Mansa Musa walked to Mecca and his gold shook the world. Timbuktu had universities when Europe was still in the dark ages. The Benin Kingdom forged bronze into eternal art. Great Zimbabwe stood in stone. They tried to make us forget. But how do you kill a memory carved in stone? This song is for every African who needs to remember who they truly are. You are not the broken image they painted on the wall. You are the child of mighty kingdoms. You were built to stand up tall. We were kings. We were queens. And that never changed. 🎵 Written and produced by Roots Of Africa Music ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 — Intro — Before The Borders Before The Chains 00:35 — Verse 1 — The Pyramids Of Kemet 01:45 — Pre-Chorus — They Tried To Make Us Forget 02:15 — Chorus — We Were Kings We Were Queens 03:00 — Verse 2 — Kingdom Of Kush And Timbuktu 04:10 — Chorus — Africa Was Civilization 04:55 — Bridge — Africa Gave The World Its First Light 05:25 — Verse 3 — The Ancient Spirit In Every African Street 06:10 — Final Chorus — Africa Was Great Yesterday And Today 06:55 — Outro — Imhotep Mansa Musa Nefertiti 👇 FOLLOW ROOTS OF AFRICA MUSIC ON ALL PLATFORMS: ▶️ YouTube —    / @rootsofafricamusic   📘 Facebook — facebook.com/RootsOfAfricaMusic 📸 Instagram — instagram.com/rootsofafricamusic 🎵 TikTok — tiktok.com/@RootsOfAfricaMusic 🐦 X Twitter — x.com/RootsOfAfricaM 💬 WhatsApp Channel — Roots Of Africa Music 👊 If this song filled you with ancient African pride — LIKE.
