DON'T BE FOOLED MY BROTHER

DON’T BE FOOLED MY BROTHER

NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY

IN SPITE OF ALL THIS EVIL

YOU’VE COME A LONG, LONG WAY

 

THEY THOUGHT THAT THEY COULD HOLD YOU DOWN

YOU SPIRIT AND YOU’RE WILL

BUT YOUR POWER COMES FROM FATHER GOD

YOU ARE THE STRONGEST STILL

 

YOU NEVER HAVE BEEN LAZY

400 YEARS YOU WORKED FOR FREE

YOU CARRIED THIS PLANET ON YOUR BACK

ATLAS WAS YOU AND ME

 

AND ACCORDING TO CALCULATIONS

YOU ARE BACK ON TRACK

GRABBED RACISM AND GREED BY THE COLLAR

AND SLUNG THEM OFF YOUR BACK

 

YOUR INTELLIGENCE HAS BEEN QUESTIONED

LET’S TELL THEM WHAT YOU’VE DONE

YOU ESTABLISHED CIVILIZATION

FROM YOU CAME EVERYONE

 

ASTROLOGY AND MATHMATICS

ARTS AND SCIENCES OF ALL KINDS

THAT ESTABLISHED HUMAN KNOWLEDGE

THEY ALL CAME FROM YOUR MINDS

 

NO ONE HAS GIVEN YOU ANYTHING

IT’S BEEN TAKE, TAKE, TAKE, TAKE

WHEN TIME FOR PAYMENT ARRIVES

EXCUSES ARE WHAT THEY MAKE

 

NO ONE HAS GIVEN YOU ANYTHING

THEY’VE TRIED TO TRIP YOU AS YOU WALKED

WHEN TIME COMES FOR REPAYMENT

YOUR DEBTORS THEY'VE ALL BALKED

 

DON’T BE FOOLED MY BROTHER

AS EVERYDAY GOES BY

CALL UPON YOUR COURAGE

ALWAYS HOLD YOU’RE HEAD UP HIGH

 

AND PAT YOURSELF UPON THE BACK

EVERYDAY UNDER THE SUN

YOU’VE PROVEN BEYOND QUESTION

YOU ARE A CHAMPION

 

LOOK AT ALL THE RACIST PEOPLE

AND THE MASKS UPON THEIR EYES

THEY WANT TO TRY TO HIDE THE TRUTH

THEIR FROWNS AND SCORN BELIE

 

THEY TRY HARD NOT TO SHOW IT

BUT RESPECT FOR YOU IS THERE

ONLY THEY HAVE BEEN CONDITIONED

TO ACT LIKE THEY DON’T CARE

 

NOW OUR MARCH CONTINUES PEOPLE

WALK STRONG UPON THE PATH

THAT LEADS AGAIN TO SELF  LEADERSHIP

WE’LL MAKE IT, DO THE MATH

 

DON’T BE PESSIMISTIC

HERE’S A THOUGHT OF NOTE

THIS HAS BEEN A STRUGGLE

BUT THROUGH STRUGGLE DOES COME GROWTH

 

WE’LL REACH THE GOAL WE’RE AFTER

WITH OUR MINDS HELD HIGH

OUR DIGNITY INTACT

NOT LIVING IN ANOTHER’S LIES

 

DO NOT BE FOOLED MY SISTER

NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY

IN SPITE OF ALL THIS EVIL

YOU’VE COME A LONG, LONG WAY

 

LOOK DEEP INSIDE WHERE YOUR SOUL RESIDES

AND YOU WILL SURELY SEE

YOU HAVE NOT BEEN FORSAKEN

THAT IS NOT YOUR DESTINY

 

DO NOT BE FOOLED MY BROTHER

TO YOURSELF YOU MUST BE TRUE

HAVE THE CONFIDENCE OF YOUR ANCESTORS

THE LORD’S  POWER WORKS FOR YOU

 

GREAT POWER THAT IS ENDLESS

FROM GOD INSIDE, YOU SEE

THE KIND THAT CAN’T BE STOLEN

TO CONTROL YOUR IMAGE AND DESTINY

 

YOU’RE NOT FOOLED MY BROTHER AND SISTER

AND THOUGH SOME STILL ARE RUDE

THE BATTLE YOU ARE WINNING

KEEP YOUR BE-ATTITUDE

 

DO NOT BE FOOLED MY PEOPLE

NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY

IN SPITE OF ALL THIS EVIL

YOU’VE COME A LONG, LONG WAY

 

THEY THOUGHT THAT THEY COULD HOLD YOU DOWN

YOU SPIRITS, LIVES AND WILLS

BUT YOUR POWER COMES FROM YOUR FATHER GOD

YOU ARE THE STRONGEST STILL
