The black Mecca


I searched endlessly for the right prayer

To release the black body from tribulation and despair

the black body is fragile, delicate, deliberate

Free our minds from a slave mentality, unite and emancipate

We need to find our mecca in this race and ethnic relations stride

Know our history, come togehter amidst all the divide

Obama, Martin Luther King, Malcom X all found their Mecca and peace

Lets stop the hate, discrimnation and prejudice

We are one people, one heart beat, one movement like no other

Ebony children unite, lets find that black mecca.
