What is progress,
But a big step forward before they push us back.
What is progress,
But a word meant to make men remake black.
What is progress,
But a step up from regress, then we’re right back.
What is progress,
But constant strife, a war without an end?
What is progress,
But a slogan to make the cold and lifeless feel.
What is progress,
But the hook and the reel.
What is progress,
But still, brave black men and women against the violent wind.
This is progress,
Not too progressive in fact.
