I'Ve Got Fire In My Soul

I know what it means To go to bed without food To go to school without shoes To yearn for Eqaul Education to free your mind Just to be told you just can't handle White education Here's Bantu education for you I know what Poverty is I've lived it I've smelled it I've Breathed it Yet never accepted it Living in a town with a twisted perverted mentality That pinned up lil notices That said: This town is for white people only Black dogs may enter through the back door Because they are our servants We are your masters Permanently and perpetually Using the Bible to take everything A black man owns Asserting, If you accept God in your Life He will come save you During your time of need But you shall not own this land because God said I should be your Master A town that still can't accept that a black man is human too Not some animal to be Tarred, Feathered and hung up a tree to die I've witnessed old wrinkled men Bow Down with Surbodination To call a little boy "Baas" I've witnessed neighbors go dig Their Loved ones out of the land They once owned Because the Master said I don't want dead people on my Land Your land? Did u come carrying land in your boat when you left The Dutchland? Did u come carrying Gold, Diamonds and Platinum When u left England? Is that why you feel obliged to have the black man go down the earth's pit to get your diamonds so you can have a nice shiny Crown? While he goes home to a table with lil to no food? Telling him you better not catch him Walking around this town without a Passbook, That grants him that Privilege I've got Fire in my Soul Ignited only by true Virtue, Liberation I climb beyond human heights I dare not to be just ordinary I defy human Limitations I've got Fire in my Soul Ignited it burns Explosive, Subversive Never to be Subjugated But Liberated within....
