Here Is To You Dr King

Extra extra read all about it black man ,black man liberal and free Now that’s something we couldn’t say back in the early 1960s If you know like me we must give credit where due, so thanks to you Dr king We owe you for all you went through just to let freedom ring If you were alive today you wouldn’t believe what you have achieve for all of us Because fifty years ago we all know we couldn’t even get a seat on the bus Yes we must thank you Martin for all that you started for all the little folks For if it were not for you and what you went through we wouldn’t even have a fair vote Now racism still exists it’s in the mist and it carries an awful scent But thanks to you we have a choice and have raised our voice and elected a black president It has taken so long for us to be this strong and live beside others as equals So as long as we survive we’ll keep your dream alive for it mean so much to our people
