Revolutionary Minds

This sistah would like to say That finally Revolution is on its way Dig, my People? Just as the "New Negro" replaced the "Coloreds" Black is replacing the "New Negro" Shoot, "Freedom Now" has been replaced by "All power to the People" But most importantly Its been proven that over time That that old “house nigga” mentality Is materializing into many Revolutionary minds We’re getting tired of the chicanery Tired of the lies We refuse to remain-to-be Controlled Nerve-less minds! So forget the minstrel shows That tap dancing nigger image Forget racial epitaphs And the Klan And I swear to you all today My pride will NOT diminish! Because we’re just getting started We’re not even close to finished This is warfare! Warfare of the mind! And this IS fighting back And as we arrive at our darkest hour I raise my fist to my Black forefathers Saluting them for their Black Power! Revolution! Revolution! It starts with mentality A way of thought Then it manifests into action Where we fight to the death for freedom With a passion! Now I don’t know I guess I speak for myself But I refuse to be seen only as The Help! I refuse to let you beat me with no retaliation! I refuse to let you stop the Revolution! And I damn sure refuse to be patient! It’s been over 100 years since our so called “emancipation”! And we still down here fighting for liberation! But look out America Because Revolution is afoot And the Black folk all over this country They know it is finally time So we shall fight the powers that be With these Bold Black Young And powerful Revolutionary Minds!
