White Supremacy
WHITE SUPREMACY
Ah, Marcus Garvey, you were a trier, but, never destined a king
Easily made a fool of, if only you had half a brain you could win
Famed by your own notoriety, ideology based on incompetence
But, you've not gone through history, without acknowledgment
Giving birth to Malcolm X, who in 1965 dreams were shot down
Martin Luther King another black the whites didn't want around
There's Bob Marley's assassination attempt rumored by the CIA
Black's standing up for their rights, never to see the light of day
Muammar Gaddafi, taken out on the orders of white supremacy
Opening the borders to African blacks; he's shown no clemency
I tell you I've met God in my dreams, and he ain't flamin' white
Where he stands before me, black, black as any moonless night
