|
| South Africa, what does it mean?
|
| To burst the scene, or conquer like a philistine
|
| War or peace, which one do you prefer?
|
| Pass me my M-16 for the disaster
|
| A reason for the treason in a jet black season…
|
| … for peace, justice, and freedom
|
| For the Original Man, architect of the Motherland
|
| Kings to Queens, is the Asiatic Black plan
|
| Pre-Adam-ite, first to see the light
|
| Way before Adam and Eve took flight
|
| Bless the seed of Abraham, I came to jam
|
| Protest the teachings of another man
|
| Uncle Tom stay loyal so they boil
|
| I’m the alchemist with the twist from the true soil
|
| My blood brother Adolpho on the side of me
|
| My vision ain’t blurry, so don’t even lie to me
|
| The rebirth the revival of our culture survival
|
| To elevate, the black man is vital
|
| You gotta realize now what we’re facing
|
| The floors I’m pacing from the anger in the nation
|
| «Let's get together!»
|
| «Let's get together!»
|
| «Let's get together!»
|
| «Let's get together… and raise»

|
| Here’s the situation from a darker view
|
| Night and day, salt and pepper in the earthly stew
|
| But the salt think it taste better, straight up superior
|
| Therefore, the flavor of the pepper’s inferior
|
| Incorrect though, giving some heartburn
|
| Level of a devil better wait your turn
|
| And here is one recollection of imperfection
|
| No one should be judged by complexion
|
| Library; |
| broken down as lies buried
|
| To force their beliefs to pilgrims all hurried
|
| Television; |
| tell-a-lie-vision
|
| A schism; |
| negative realism
|
| Four-hundred-and-thirty-five years til weak
|
| Mental deaf dumb and blindness put us to sleep
|
| Out of the dark comes light so the first can’t be White
|
| So Armaggedeon comes like a thief in the night
|
| Rednecks flex to my context but in the projects
|
| Some won’t survive the next
|
| Confrontation, and I’m aware of segregation
|
| Pump your black fist for the anger in the nation
|
| «Let's get together!»
|
| «Let's get together!»
|
| «Let's get together!»
|
| «Let's get together… and raise»
|
| «Let's get together!»
|
| «Let's get together!»
|
| «Let's get together!»
|
| «Let's get together… and raise»
|
| Some walk slow, cause the water’s not shallow
|
| Let my people go, you little Pharoah
|
| Listen how they word it, be observant
|
| Then house negro; |
| today, civil servant
|
| I want to drop the bomb but remain calm
|
| Strong like the power of the Fruits of Islam
|
| Black is beautiful, hot like fire
|
| Guess how many times they thought they killed the Messiah
|
| Malcolm X, Dr. King, let’s sing
|
| All around the world let freedom ring
|
| Reality is real, so how do you feel
|
| From being kings on a throne to picking cotton in a field?
|
| Your slavery is lack of identity
|
| One of the things that’s not making you a friend of me
|
| What’s your cause — aim, rationale?
|
| Cause I made up my mind, I never scrape or bow
|
| But teach my own, the sound of black unity
|
| Together we can rise and now’s the opportunity
|
| The Tuskegee Experiment, indeed it was big
|
| When they used the black man as a guinea pig
|
| Animalism, pumped on a lower level
|
| But can only be the works of the devil
|
| And I’m telling you now the frustration
|
| The future’s facing from the anger in the nation
|
| «Let's get together!»
|
| «Let's get together!»
|
| «Let's get together!»
|
| «Let's get together… and raise»
|
| «Let's get together!»

| «Let's get together!»
