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!
