Title: Last Revolutionary: Part Two Post by: Ras Rebel on August 22, 2008, 09:37:50 AM Last Revolutionary: Part Two
By Ras Rebel Did Huey Newton live in vain? Was Harriet Tubman certifiably insane? Was Pac doing it simply for the fame? Have we forgotten the numerous without name Who were beaten and slain? Who was Frederick Douglass and what did he stand for? Do we seek degrees to get rich or to enrich the poor? Was Booker T’s work futile? The caged bird sings but when will he smile? When will he learn the intention of his wings? Instead of waiting on the next Malcolm X or Dr. King’s When will you break the curse? No longer swayed by the power of the purse. When will you tear down strongholds To deliver lost souls? Become a freedom fighter Not just a rhyme writer A people reacher Instead of a pulpit preacher Our current state is sick with the flu But the cure is in you. If you care for the youth Look for the truth And critically think Our chain is only as strong As our weakest link What effects one affects all If I trip you fall It’s time to wake up Look through Satan’s make up Like Esu and Jacob We’re God’s chosen But our destiny is stolen Trapped in a mental box Held captive by the cunning fox But with all his wisdom and all his wit He can’t put out the fire that God has lit It burns from within a man’s soul and his spirit I speak to you truth let them with ears hear it Let these words be blessed and manifest in your heart God’s servant speaking through this art Take heed for now you have heard Dammed is he who ignores Jah word. |
