[Verse 1]
The system persecute black
Black people know you worth it
Poor people calling on for a little more help
Can you hear that?
Seeing out brothers and sisters been cut down
Be not discourage now
Fear not

[Chorus]
Because today is a new day
Today you go make it
Don't you look down on yourself
Don't you push down someone else

Today is a new day
And today you go make it
Don't you look down on yourself
Don't you push down someone else

[Verse 2]
It was properly organize
To teach you all otherwise
To keep it under disguise
To slave you for any prize
Don't be stupid now
Make the right
Listen you boys and girls
Material things of this world
Will fade away
Education still got it's worth
Educate yourself
Your nation improve

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Don't be ashamed if you stumble along the way
Get up, brush off yourself and be on your way
That's what life about
It's a challenge
Against those drugs and bombs
Ma people were so

[Chorus]
