who are you?
you dont know?
Dont tell me negro
thats nothin
what were you before the white man named you a negro
what was your name?
it couldnt have been smith or jones or bush or powell
that wasnt your name
they dont have those kind of names where you and i came from
no what was your name?
and why dont you now know what your name was then
where was your history?
how did a man wipe out your history?
how did the man what did the man
do to make you as dumb, as you are right now

rather be a dead man then a live slave

no negro leaders have fought for civil rights
they paid for civil rights
they have begged the white man for civil rights
they have begged the white man for freedom
and anytime you beg another man to set you free
you will never be free
freedom is something you have to do for yourselves
and until the american negro lets the white man know
that we are really really ready and willing to pay the price that is destin for freedom
our people will always be walking around and second class citizens or what you call twentith century slaves
what price are you talking about sir?
the price of freedom is death
