My Black People

by Joe Dill



My black people we need to look at the past 
See how our ancestors held together like glue
This is the only way they would last
It's not about taking out who's better than you

My Black People I get tired of seeing you laying in caskets
The cause of death is not even natural
It's by murder up to the neck I've had it
We used to worry about the KKK, we run from each other nowaday

My Black People, they talk about genocide
This is what we're doing to each other
Will my Black people be extinct?
Sooner or later if we don't start to love one another

My brother, my sister
My sister, my brother
It's time to bring that bond back
It's time to stand up for one antoher

My Black People it's time to say, Yes I'm proud to be Black
Turn our heads forward not looking back
Let's relieve our ancestors by building for our posterity
They shouldn't have to go through and see what we had to see

My Black People it's time to free our minds
No longer are we shackled
It's time to put that Fist in the air
                  BLACK POWER
And say it like we care

My Black People Martin and Malcolm didn't preach for nothing
It's time to put that foot forward and make it mean something
No longer can the White Man stand on our hand
It's our day now it's time for the Black Man

         MY BLACK PEOPLE
         PUT YOUR FIST IN THE AIR
         SAY IT LOUD
         I'M BLACK AND I'M PROUD
         I'M BLACK AND I'M PROUD
      I'M BLACK......AND I'M PROUD
