| Youthful years were full of adventure
|
| Drifted to a life of crime
|
| In jail he learned to be our leader
|
| Thank God he was released on time
|
| Spoke out gainst Jim Crows in justice
|
| And never turned the other cheek
|
| There’s no room for non violent protest
|
| Yes these words were what he preached
|
| Taught us bout Pan Africanism
|
| To put my people back on their feet
|
| Take what’s ours robbed by the system

| They have tried to rid his name
|
| From hstory books and magazines
|
| They even tried to criticise
|
| His greatness and philosophy
|
| Against all kinds of exploitation
|
| For all of us he bore the pain
|
| We won’t let him be forgotten
|
| No he did not die in vain
|
| Put away the misconception
|
| That he came to teach us hate
|
| So wake up from your sleep and slumber
|
| Wake up before its too late
|
| We need to resurrect that spirit
|
| A lease of life the people need
|
| To fight resistance from the system
|
