White Supremacy

Listen to poem:

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, whites didn't as want around

Where 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 is shown no clemency

I tell you I've met God in my dreams and he is not flamin' white
When he reigned before me, black, black as any moonless night
