DIGNITY by Randy
Dignity
Ain’t nothing like being free
To think one’s own thoughts
Unbridled by threats or concerns
Of violence of being bought
At the center of us is a primal
Cry
Dignity
At the core of our soul is a
Sigh
Dignity
Something to erase the slavers brand
Essential to make a people stand
The fuel to make oppressed long to be free
The Word
Dignity
From Africa’s Womb we were torn
A new people into a nation must be born
Let us the world order reform
Regardless the Cost we folk must try
Struggle lest dreams of ancestors die
Did not David Walker and Maria Stewart
Cry
For Dignity
Self-determination must be our cross
Reviled, hated between and betwixt
Surge we forward nothing is too great the cost
Set the children of Ham free
Our foundation forever must be
Dignity
Love for self and our folk
Nothing will crown our heads
Like our crusade for sovereignty
Dignity is the oxygen our nation breathes
Dignity is spark once broken people need
Dignity will quicken when facing supernatural odds
Dignity cast down assimilation as a false god
Dignity can make universities of prisons
Dignity can mend class and ethnic schisms
Dignity is spiritual wealth that makes us rich
Dignity gives a real high when our status is low
Dignity keeps deprived from selling their souls
Dignity is at hand the time we must seize
Dignity will help us free Africa held hostage
And keep us true rejecting the Anglos mess of pottage
Let to each and everyone be s sister and brother
Of the great commonweal let us be lovers
We must look in our race mirror
And love what we see
Have the inner will to fight all enemies
Wean ourselves from Anglo-American hegemony
Let greatness be rooted in our melanin-rich selves
Not base on the distortions of media cointel
Let greatness be based on who we are
Not the trinkets and baubles of those who hate us
Let our full lips speak truth to power
In and out of season of open minds
When only enemies and traitors are in power
Dignity
Unstops waxed ears
Dignity
Dries a half millennium of tears
Dignity
Reconciles woman to man
Dignity
Exalts a male above his glands
Dignity
Respect and Protects ALL womankind
Dignity
Nurtures and sacrifices for the young
Dignity
Completes struggle yet done
Dignity
Replaces cathartic religion with prophetic faith
Dignity
Instills in the soul a zeal for freedom that can’t wait
Dignity
Adds depth to how the eyes and heart look
Dignity
Balances responsibility and justice in the race bankbook
As the Queen of Dignity walks the byways of of hearts
Be one who receives her exhortation
Be Proud
Resist injustice
Endure
Be Pure
Break every yoke
Do more than vote
Organize ! Learn !
Dignity is what our hearts yearn for
A world without political, economic, social, or moral sagging
Ain’t nothing like being free
Let us rise like the phoenix of the Anglo assumed perished in the ashes
Ain’t nothing like being who you are and free
Ain’t nothing like when we are united and free
Let the words of our mouths and the meditations of our hearts
Be
Dignity wake us from our four decades of slumber
Dignity from fake leaders and old failed ideas rent us sunder
Dignity today, Dignity tomorrow, Dignity forever
Walk together children in there’s a great meeting in the Promised land of Dignity
