To Those Who Came Before Us


Hold tight those dreams For when they come true, Martin will be watching. Hold down your seat, for when he who tries to steal it, Rosa will be stopping. And when you can’t seem to fight your own battles, Malcolm X will help you wrestle those embattles. Because as you walk tall on the streets of America, You need the strength of those who came before us, As we keep marching on for freedom to restore us.
