Black Panthers Arise


Black Panthers arise Wipe those pitful tears from your dark brown eyes Stop and listen here as I talk While we take this dark lonesome journey so that we may walk Zombies is what they thought of us Fear is what they brought to us Similar features, brain, and a heart They never wanted us to succeed from the start Living day by day, even voting is a struggle Working hard because its my only hustle Anticipation of the future, Determination of today, & Proclamation of my worth leaks from my fallen chains While Crazy Citations surround me, Caucasians are all around me, Memories of Motivations getting stripped beside me, leaks out my brain They roar, scream, and chant white power While the corspes of our dark bodies grow sour Love is what my mother always taught me Hate is why white supremacists fought me My darkskinned flesh may be weak But this gray locked metal will have it so you cannot speak Black Panther is what we roar Forget what they might say black people, we will soar We didn't land on Pylmouth Rock, Plymouth rock landed on us said the great We have no mercy for our prisoners, not even for heavens sake Beautiful Black Angels we once were on our land Kidnapped and Enslaved so we were brought to this sand Martin Luther King once had a dream Now for their blood we will feign We will will be their worst nightmares as they once were our ancestors They will regret ever trying to be our successors Here in Oakland, California we will stand Picking out White Supremacy strand by strand

A speech that will would recruit more black panthers and reasons that they can relate and would want to join the black panthers.
