Today I went to the NAACP ACT-SO
Brothers and sisters were on the go
Math, science, physics, and all
Young black people standing tall
Standing taller and stronger than a wall

Today I went to NAACP ACT-SO
Musicians of all categories to relax you
Notes flowing in the air
Playing music with a special flair
Instruments playing with loving care

Painting and arts exhibits
Van Gogh, Monte, Degas get with it
These brothers and sisters ain’t dabbling in it
Canvas, brush, oil or charcoal
Their stuff is as good as gold

HBC scholars and representatives
American corporation executives
Mentors, coaches and chairpersons
Across the nation lifting up young people
Looking out beyond the horizon

9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th graders
A new breed of intellectual persuaders
Lifting up each other in faith
Making great contributions to their race
Watch out world this is just a taste
