"X Ressurection" lyrics

Malcolm X
Malcolm X
Born in imaha Nebraska
May 19 year 25
Was the son of a Garvey teacher
We will keep his name alive
Youthful years were full of adventure
Drifted to a life of crime
In jail he learned to be our leader
Yes, he was released on time

(Malcolm X) spoke out gainst Jim Crows in justice
And never turned the other cheek (Malcolm X)
There's no room for non violent protest
Yes these words were what he preached (Malcolm X)
Taught us bout Pan Africanism
To put my people back on their feet (Malcolm X)
Take what's ours robbed by the system
He said by any means

(Malcolm X) that's right so you gotta believe it
(Malcolm X) you know that's right so you gotta believe it
(Malcolm X) no, no, that's right so you gotta believe it
(Malcolm X) ah yeah, yeah, ah yeah, yeah

Let Malcolm live through us
Black liberation is a must
Let Malcolm live through us
Black liberation is a must

They have tried to rid his name
From history books and magazines
They even tried to criticize
His greatness and philosophy
Against all kinds of exploitation
For all of us he bore the pain
We won't let him be forgotten
No he did not die in vain

(Malcolm X) put away the misconception
That he came to teach us hate (Malcolm X)
It's time for us to wake up before its too late (Malcolm X)
Let's resurrect that spirit
A lease of life the people need
To fight resistance from the system
He said by any means

(Malcolm X) that's right so you gotta believe it
(Malcolm X) come on, that's right so you gotta believe it
(Malcolm X) [?] gotta believe it
(Malcolm X) ah yeah, yeah, ah yeah, yeah

Let Malcolm live through us
Black liberation is a must
Let Malcolm live through us
Black liberation is a must

By any means by any means
By any means necessary
