Legacy.
If I don't know where I'm coming from, where would I go?
Words of Wisdom, based upon the strength of an nation,
Conquer the enemy on with education,
Protect ya self, reach for what you wanna do,
Know thy self, teach 'bout what we been through,
On with the knowledge of the place we've been
No one will ever oppress this race again
No Malcolm X in my history text, why is is that?
'Cause he tried to educate and liberate all blacks,
Why is Martin Luther King in my book each week?
He told blacks, if they get smacked, turn the other cheek
I don't get it, so many questions went through my mind
I get sweated, they act as if asking question's a crime,
But forget it, 'cause one day I'm gonna prove them wrong,
Now every brother had to smother on the welfare line
The American Dream, though it seems like it attainable,
They're pulling your sleeve, don't believe
'cause it will strangle ya
Pulling the life of your brain, I can't explain,
Make it so you can obtain from which you came
You swear to the mother that you're living in equality,
Forgetting your brother that's living here in poverty,
Thought they had us beat when they took out King,
But the battle ain't over 'til the black man sings, Words of Wisdom.
