With lightning fists and lightning wit, The white supremacists should’ve quit. There’s not a soul who could strike within distance Or go the distance in any instance. He was immutable and versatile A hero that they viewed a villain Ancestry was English, Irish, Malagasy, and African He was tried but took on every trial Spoke out against the slave owners who raped and revised, Eradicated cultures, and spread slavery’s lies Spoke out against Jim Crow and the Vietnam War While politicians profited off the backs of the poor Inspired a King to challenge a President And from The Greatest you could expect no less Because he was black, bigots branded him arrogant But Black Power is his story and his success.
