Black men rise and take control.
       Be who you are and not what others
       expect you to be.

       Be strong fathers to your children.
       Be exact in your endeavors.

       Be positive in thought and redeem 
       your place in society.
       Be aware of the forces that try to
       strip you of your dignity.

       Be idealistic in your ideas and focused
       in mind, body and soul.

       Be the strength that will carry BLACK
       Men into a millenium of change.
