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!
