BLACK POWER

The revolution has started, but the world doesn't see.  
Everybody is unmasking on side of me.
The vision is clear, so let us explain.  
No more hurting our people, putting us to shame.  
The harder you look, the more powerful we become.  
Pay attention to our minds just as well as to our guns.  
Not aiming to shoot but to send a message,  
To combat the ones who kill for perfection.  
Our minds will talk; it's the first line of defense  
As we stand together, inch by inch.  
So take time, realize, step back, and take a seat.  
The Black Panthers will revolutionize every wrong movement on the street.
