THE TIME IS UP MY PEOPLE!

 

 

Listen my people, today the time is up;

Kicking back and chilling, we must interrupt.

True liberation has not yet been won;

Realize this: there’s still a lot of work to be done.

 

Ponder where we were and now where we are:

It has been like 1 step forward…2 steps backwards!

Get up…stand up…we have yet to reach the set bar;

We are Mandingo warriors, not Sisyphus cowards!

Remember, we are of the Nile forever flowing upwards;

We are children of the light of that ever glowing eastern star!

 

Yes, we set a precedent with the election of a black president;

But the bigots came and stole back the white house resident.

Oh, their his-story remains inundated with their tricky incidents;

And our-story remains impregnated with strong comeback events.

 

            Time is up and it’s time to get up

            And it’s time to get the work done;

            Time is up and it’s time to get up

            And follow the upcoming rising sun.

 

During the trod, we have sometimes traveled as if fools;

Praises be, the Most High has today gifted us with new tools;

Now realize that unevaluated approaches led to tragedies,

We must now confront our foes with new gifted strategies!

 

          Remember, it’s time to get up: “sho’s yu born”;

          Only the worker dies, the damn work goes on.

         We got to get this done no matter how;

        Pray god, feet don’t fail us now.

 

P.S.:  Just one last note; get off that black beautiful booty and vote!
