“Black Mindset Recall”

I heard someone say

That we would be free one day

They were still a slave

Subtly guided

On their speech

How to behave

By people from caves

Those we had trained

Those we had shown

How to plant

How to till the land

From sugar cane, cotton

To cleaning their homes, be neat

How to raise children

Property mindset

Must be stopped at all cost

Time to be the boss

Benefit from self

Labor for a common cause

Independence Now

How?

Make products for self

Distribute what we have made

Buy from each other

There’s no other way

A new mindset starts today

Job or self-employed?

Black business is life

End to economic strife

And Just Over Broke

Truth, this ain’t no joke

Work together or perish

Unify, flourish

Money has good use

Can earn us respect worldwide

Black dollars combined

Elijah did it

Showed what Black dollars can do

Time to revisit

Be Black, Buy Black, Think…

Garvey said it best, said loud

We are Black and Proud!
