Oh black man what have you done?
Are you fighting for causes I’m in this here grave for?
You aren’t done gone and took on the ways of that white man are you
Have you forgotten how they sold us on that old auction block?
You should be fighting for the basic rights of our people 
do you hear me old black man?
What is it that we are hearing up here 
that you all down there killing one another for the crumbs of the master’s table
Don’t you know you should love your brother and stick together?
To many of you all are coming up here way to early
Who’s going to guide and lead our children?

Oh black man what have you done

Don’t you even love yourself any more?
God done made us a promise to lead our people back to the promise land
Black man you got to hold on to Gods unchanging hand
Wait I hear someone talking what’s that “Martin” you say 
tell them don’t forget the dream
Ok, Ok “Malcolm” I’m going to tell them what you said 
to keep up the struggle and love your brother
Meager said to keep up the voter registration drive
Ok that’s enough I got to tell the people what’s going on up here
James Brown done came up here and started a choir along with James Cleveland 
they got the people’s shouting with Holy Ghost power
Hold on oh Black man God done gave us a new land
