i dont know if one day i will get there,
but for the love of my people,
they will give mea grave without name,
they will incinarate my body and dissapear with it,
for the love of my people,
i am willing to make the ultimate sacrifiice,
here i am
broke and poor,
but spiritually rich
for the love of my people,
iam not willing to compromise,
but we have compromise too much
our dignity,
our honour and our freedom

for the love of my people,
they will throw me in jail,
givea big sentence
that i can not read
or understand,
let alone comprehend
without being able to afford bail
they will loose me in their paper trail,
afta that will sit with their follies
and even uncle toms and
black christians and havea party with
lots of cocktails.

for the love of my people,
they will persecute me,
even if my people dont understand me,
that my ultimate goal is to see
all of us free,

for the love of my people,
they will torture and put me thru the wire,
set my own records on fire
and burn my file.
tell the world,they neva knew
my profile,

for the love of my people,
they will mark me for death,
they will try to poison my food
or insert drugs in to my drinks

for the love of my people,
i am willing to die,
when i cross the spirit realms,
my ancestors will read my life history
and they will know,i stood up for peace
truth,justice and reconcialition,

for the love of my people,
they will tell many lies with my name,
my spirits will come back from the dead
and hunt those who will be using my name in vain,
because my peoples pain is also my pain,

one day,they will understand i wasnt after
fortune,glory and fame,
for the love of my people,
they will crucify me,
but,
i neva asked tbe any jesus christ super
star,
even though i tried to tell dem,
honour your ancestors,
who are beyiond this physical world
and beyond,the cosmos and the stars,

let dem hear our battle cry,
eaither we live or die,
for the love of our people,
some uncle tom
with christian slave mentality,
me,he will definetly villify,

for the love of my people,
i am ready to make the ultimate sacrfice,
even that means my life,
heck,iam broke and poor,
but spiritually rich,

because,
we are tired of
the mayors of philadelphia,
tired of jesse jacksons,
tired of al sharptons of life
tired of all those that talk
talk talk,
but no action,

for the love of our people,
i would put my life on the line.
for the love of my people,
i will say:
please dont dispair!
i dont know when we gonna get there!

and...
for the love of my people,throw my ashes
half in the amazon river
and half in the nile,
set my spirit free,
doa prayer in afrikan language
and then ...
i know,my ancestors witha smile
will greet me.
