Jesse Jackson |
| You were born poor in a black neighborhood |
| To a teenage mom, who had a teen mom too |
| It was hard times, but you made it through |
| You beat racism, poverty, pneumonia too |
| Now you’re standing tall, we’re looking up to you |
| We’re proud of you (yes, we love) Jesse Jackson |
| (We love) we’re proud of you, you, you |
| (Yes, we love) Jesse Jackson (so proud) |
| We’re proud of you (yes, we love) Jesse Jackson |
| (We love) we’re proud of you, you, you |
| (Yes, we love) Jesse Jackson |
| I-I-I am somebody |
| (How do you know?) |
| Jesse, Jesse, Jesse told me! |
| I-I-I am somebody |
| (How do you know?) |
| Jesse, Jesse, Reverend Jesse, he told me so! |
| You stood with King, when you saw him die |
| (Ooh, Jesse) your will to lead must have intensified |
| We all felt your pride, that can’t be denied |
| From city street gangs to farmers on the grain |
| You’ve got support from Mexico to Maine |
| We’re proud of you (yes, we love), Jesse Jackson |
| We’re proud of you, you, you (so proud), Jesse Jackson |
| We’re proud of you (yes, we love), Jesse Jackson |
| We’re proud of you, you, you (so proud), Jesse Jackson |
| I-I-I am somebody |
| (How do you know?), Jesse, Jesse |
| I-I-I am somebody |
| (How do you know?) Jesse, Jesse (so proud, we love…) |
| Cannonball called you «the country preacher» |
| To the Rainbow Coalition you are a teacher |
| We move to your message, you’re the consummate speaker |
| Your message is love, respect for your brother |
| People for people, no fear of each other |
| Run for any office your heart may choose |
| 'Cause we’re gonna love you, so you just can’t lose |
| We’re proud of you (yes, we love) Jesse Jackson |
| (We love) we’re proud of you, you, you |
| (Yes, we love) Jesse Jackson (so proud) |
| We’re proud of you (yes, we love) Jesse Jackson |
| (We love) we’re proud of you, you, you |
| (Yes, we love) Jesse Jackson |
| I-I-I am somebody |
| (How do you know?) Jesse, Jesse, Jesse told me! |
| I am somebody |
| (How do you know?) Jesse, Jesse, he told me so! |
| My name is Dr. Arthur Thomas and I am the president of Central State University, |
| a black college in Wilberforce, Ohio; |
| and I want to pay tribute to the |
| Reverend Jesse Louis Jackson. |
| Thank you, Jesse, for being courageous enough to |
| challenge America. |
| Thank you, Jesse, for giving us bold leadership and new |
| directions. |
| Thank you, Jesse, for blazing a trail that represents hope for the |
| future. |
| Thank you, Jesse, for letting us know that in order to win this fight, |
| we must unite! |
| Red, yellow, black, brown and white. |
| Thank you, Jesse Louis |
| Jackson. |
| And I also want to let everyone else know, that one of the keys to |
| Jesse Jackson’s success is that he attended a black college. |
| The black college |
| let him know, that he was somebody. |
| The black college made him believe in |
| himself. |
| The black college gave him history, hope and heritage. |
| The black |
| college let him see, that he could be anything he wanted to be, even president |
| of the United States of America. |
| So when you think of Jesse Jackson, |
| think of black colleges. |
| Support black colleges. |
| Give to the United Negro |
| College Fund. |
| A mind is a terrible thing to waste! |
| (We're proud of you…) |
| If you mind can perceive it |
| And your heart can believe it |
| Then you can achieve it… |
