...but I wouldn't call them "traditional" Kwanzaa songs, since I've got a fish older than these lyrics.

How about NWA's "F%$# the Police" since Ron Evertt, the creator of Kwanzaa has no respect for the law
Or how about "Whip it Good" by Devo since Ron whipped the two women with an electrical cord.
To Quote Ron Karenga (aka Everett) “People think it’s African, but it’s not. I came up with Kwanzaa because black people wouldn’t celebrate it if they knew it was American. Also, I put it around Christmas because I knew that’s when a lot of bloods would be partying.” he has also explained that his creation of Kwanzaa was motivated in part by hostility toward both Christianity and Judaism

We are the family, come on brothers and sisters and join in with me! Forget about all the haters, the Almighty will deal with them later.
