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
