COLORS

What is the true definition of color
That who is known as black would be capable
of less or more if he were called white or yellow
I feel the land weeping to me to stand up and be proud
Proud of who I be
Defend my heritage and my roots to my grave
For a tree is not a tree without its roots
But the roots are, even without the tree
So brother and sister walk with me
on this path of enlightenment
Let us break these chains of prejudice
And hold our heads high in pride of where we are from
Let us hold our hands together worldwide
And fight against imperialism,degrading speech and downright stupidity
Let us regard skin color for what it really is...skin color
Come with me as we follow in the footsteps
of great Black men that walk the earth
We shall not be judged by our skin but by our abilities
Infact we shall not be judged at all
We shall weap for what the Black man has suffered
But be proud of the great things he is achieving
The fist is the symbol of the Black man and liberation
Let me see your fists in the air high and mighty
