I know that some folks cant smell victory
cuz it so much blood,
in the hood
but if we could
but if we would
make a resolution
make retribution
make a contribution
then eventually
when the clock ticks on the 21st century
we could say
mentally,
physically,
emotionally
spiritually,
psychologically,
we done ate
victory
one and all,
from big to small
from glass ceiling
to brick wall
we got the taste of victory
in the jaw
and as we gnaw
on the suture
as we gnaw
on the future
lets sew it all up
hold it up
fold it up
slow it up
for those unable to approach
this age with us
the crack-babies
the black babies in slums
the black-wannabe-scorsce's
those incarcerated since the eighties
those inaugurated into adulthood with guns
for every mothers son
for every fathers daughter
staring at photographs when they oughta
be staring at a loved one...
come share some
of what we won
of what we done
one win for all kin
in the quest of a new millenium
and we will by no means
lay down,
stay down,
play clown,
we goin work our way round
to every doorstep
till every last breath
can say
mentally,
physically,
emotionally
spiritually,
psychologically,
we done ate
victory
one and all,
from big to small
from glass ceiling
to brick wall
we got the taste of victory
in the jaw
and as we gnaw
on the suture
as we gnaw
on the future
we goin sew it
all up
hold it all up
fold it all up
slow it all up
and drink a big strong long cup
of
destiny.

ONE LUV!!!!!
