Black Stregnth

In believing there is seeing
And a hope of understanding
That black strength is power
Of our black brother and sister put together
As they carry forever 
As one kind of race
Putting many minds in place
Commanding, demanding
With the most high respect
And pride intact.
Demonstrated: 
By high knee and clenched fist in the air
Motivated:
By a loud cheer,  "ASIBASABI!"  
We don't fear them!
Taking obstacles as they come
Crying,  "WE SHALL OVER COME!" 
'Cause the district where they are from
Is where poverty reign
Being the kingdom and domain
Where they'll remain
And that is why I'm saying
BLACK STRENGTH!
