No Black Motivation
Our progress is slow
Black entrepreneurs
Are helplessly low
Few Black Corporations
Few Black Enterprise
Few chains of Black stores
Few establish Franchise
No wealth from Black oil
No five star Hotels
No Mini Marts Plazas
Black Inns or Motels
Few Financial Institutions
Few Worldly Black Banks
Just small establishments
Getting lost in the ranks
No Black Microsoft
Our stocks remain weak
Our Boundaries are limited
And our future seems bleak
No Ebays or Googles
No Vineyards or Mines
No rich jewelry stores
Black growth rates declines
Just small time Investments
Not nearly enough
No support for Black Business
When hard times turn tough
We limit our progress
And never expand
Black business won’t stretch
Beyond poor Ghetto land
Over four hundred years
Our progress still slow
Watching Non-Blacks move up
With successful cash flow
We seem to recycle
Incompetent minds
With poor Ghetto traits
Keeping Blacks far behind
We live for the day
Without plans for tomorrow
Allowing poor and young Blacks
To beg, steal and borrow
Our ability to prosper
Is economically lost
We lack in sound values
And then suffer the cost
We trust in all others
For decisions and choice
We choose to stay weak
And won’t assert our Black voice
We give in to ignorance
Over educated skills
And our chance to be equal
Will cease to be real
If we continue this road
We will soon self-destruct
We’ll be last in society
While the world reconstructs
