Intro (Malcolm X speech):
Martin Luther King has been in jail
James Forman has been in jail
Why you can’t name a black man in this country
Who has sick and tired of the hell
Who hasn’t been in jail
Hook:
Fight for the power, nightmare for cowards
I’m right here for years when you just for couple hours
I’m like Malcolm, like Malcolm, like Malcolm
I feel like Malcolm, like Malcolm, like Malcolm, like Malcolm
Ideas beautiful like sun and palm trees
Them heroes destroyed by their own countries
We all want peace but me, I’m ready for war
This is disgrace, never felt it before
Ignore me.. can’t stand it no more
Where is that justice, them deals are dusty
Our government? can’t trust it
Like Malik El Shabazz, like Muhammad Ali and some others who were real
Some enslaved people fight to the death to be free
Fight for your future, right here, right now
While drowning why you gives a shit about those who taking shower
In the white house
This is amazing, how we raising, don’t escape from it, face it
Wanna change the world you crazy, freedom fighter you may die, maybe
Can’t stay with it, change it, anyway you gotta make it
Times has changed but some things stay the same
We never do it just for fame
Bridge (Malcolm X speech):
We don’t steal, we don’t gamble, we don’t lie and we don’t cheat
Bridge (NAY 374):
Did lot of mistakes, but you can never use it against me
I’m like Malcolm
I don’t hate anybody just stay away from my people, it’s started, just test me
See I’m like Malcolm
Heart of a brave, will never be a slave, sight like a lion, move like a giant
Self-educated, stay motivated all the time, I gotta get mine
Like Malcolm X in his times
Hook:
Fight for the power, nightmare for cowards
I’m right here for years when you just for couple hours
I’m like Malcolm, like Malcolm, like Malcolm
I feel like Malcolm, like Malcolm, like Malcolm, like Malcolm
Fight for the power, nightmare for cowards
I’m right here for years when you just for couple hours
I’m like Malcolm, like Malcolm, like Malcolm
I feel like Malcolm, like Malcolm, like Malcolm, like Malcolm
Outro (Malcolm X speech):
To be a, to have, to have once been a criminal, is no disgrace
To remain a criminal is the disgrace
I formerly was a criminal, I formerly was in jail
I’m not ashamed of that, you never can use it over my head
And he’s using a wrong stick
I don’t feel that stick
