Steel Pulse – X Ressurection lyrics

David Hinds

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

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

Chorus
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 hstory books and magazines
They even tried to criticise
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

Put away the misconception
That he came to teach us hate
So wake up from your sleep and slumber
Wake up before it's too late
We need to resurrect that spirit
A lease of life the people need
To fight resistance from the system
He said by any means

Chorus
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
