We shall be free
And not conspire thee.
To only then can
Our race breathe liberty.

Thy soul shall have justice
And our skin will suffice.
Each must make a mark
In society to have full propriety.

Thy pride must be strong
In the chest to fight wrong.
Be bold and make gold
To prove our black backbone's.

Trust in thee.
We will alway's be free.
