By Any Means Necessary

This is not a message to attack my brothers But it is a message to attract my brothers Black men we cannot deny who we are Or the definition of our true color No matter how we look at our lives We must recognize that we are poison to ourselves Trapped in our own minds like prisoners Not having the proper release to realize Who we are, and how strong we are as a people Instead we've been living a lifestyle Where we're not happy unless we're holding each other back When Malcolm X quoted: By Any Means Necessary He meant that he would help his people 'By Any Means Necessary Not for us to hold each back 'By Any Means Necessary I've learned that we're the only race of people That are more powerful and smarter they any other However, we've somehow got caught up in self gain We fight each other, rob, and kill each other Trying to get ahead in life But once you take a good look back over your life You'll see that you haven't traveled far at all Ask yourself this question If we can't be safe around our own kind Then who can we be safe around So we need to reverse our mind set Instead of being a prisoner in your mind Start thinking open and clearly Be free like a bird Say to yourself, there's nothing, or no one Holding me back from being who I want to be Link up with strong positive brothers with like minds Instead of trying to hold them back Help to build them up, and push them towards their dreams 'By Any Means Necessary If this continues, and has a popcorn effect Do you know how this will make us all better people in so many ways Brother it's true when they say It's strength in numbers There's nothing more stronger, powerful, and more dangerous Then an educated black man With that being said........ Image the strength and power in a million of us Working together, with the same hearts, minds, and drive to make our world a better place 'By Any Means Necessary!
