lyrics

Verse 1
The Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria/
Birthed in the first century and still got the stamina/
Still pumping through centuries of oppression/
Known worldwide for their apostolic succession/
Largest Christian community in the Middle East/
Guess that’s why the Middle East still got peace/
My bad, I forgot a definition/
What are Coptics, man that’s egyptian christians/
Africans who love the Lord and believe/
Jesus died on the cross and rose for you and me/
The first bishop who planted the Alexandrian Church/
Was the Mark the Evangelist, he started that whole work/
After Mark came Anianus/
Put in 22 years of leadership man, I was astonished/
After Anianus was Abilius, but we just getting started the next verse gets serious.

Chorus, Repeat 2X
C.O.C.A. COCA! Coptic Orthodox Church lit I’ma show ya,
C.O.C.A. COCA! it’s gospel and black history mane, thought I told ya,
C.O.C.A. COCA! Coptic Orthodox lit I’ma show ya,
C.O.C.A. COCA! it’s gospel and black history mane, thought I told ya

Verse 2
Next in line we got Cerdo/
10 plus years in ministry no furlough/
Got arrested, after that got martyred/
Cause he wouldn’t bow down to nobody but God the Father/
Next came Primus, number 5/
Filled with good deeds ascetic and he was pious/
Bishop number 6 was Justus in that jawn/
Preaching, teaching, and reaching before Harvest Point/
The first dean of the catechetical school/
Of Alexandria, say mane that’s too cool/
Number 7 Euminus, all about Christian mission/
Ordained and sent preachers to Nubian provinces/
This word is for them white man religion folk/
Who be thinking they woke, but their vision is broke/
Like Ephesians, arise O sleeper/
Give your life to Christ homeboy, he’ll be ya reaper/

Chorus, Repeat 2X
C.O.C.A. COCA! Coptic Orthodox Church lit I’ma show ya,
C.O.C.A. COCA! it’s gospel and black history mane thought I told ya,
C.O.C.A. COCA! Coptic Orthodox lit I’ma show ya,
C.O.C.A. COCA! it’s gospel and black history mane thought I told ya
