Magnum Opus
Coltrane with Giant Steps coming downstairs after two-weeks
King going up the mountain and dreaming as he speaks
Miles said, So What.... Kind of Blue
Malcolm, By Any Means Necessary, seeing it through
Your work is yours, so get on up and complete your earthly chores
Michael getting Off the Wall for a Thriller
Ali's Ropa Dope and Thrilla in Manila
Hank hammering the big 715
Prince's Sign O' the Times in Purple Rain seems
Hansberry's Raisin In the Sun
Madame Walker with her pellucid vision
Aretha's Respect of A Natural Woman
Maya poetically teaching about a Phenomenal Woman
Your work is yours, get on up now and complete your earthly chores
Dr. Sebi professing the essence of sea moss
Mae Jemison traveling into outer space
Dr. Cress-Welsing releasing 'The Isis Papers' like a queen boss
Wendell Scott blowing through NASCAR without a trace
Ooooooh! When I say your work is yours.....
You best be getting up and completing your earthly chores
