New Slogan

he stood and watched
while our self esteem dropped
and we started following the rules of the white man

befriending the yellow man
didn't do us any good either
the smartest amongst us sit,study and calculate
get the nation ready
for a time when the tables will turn

our little ones are ignorant to our cause
because they have been watching too much tv
i call upon all my kinsmen
my dark skin can't take this.
