Salaam Remi, Malcolm X - Black On Purpose Intro Lyrics

I think you'll find, sir
That there will come a time when black people wake up
And become intellectually independent enough
To think for themselves, as other humans
Are intellectually independent enough to think for themselves
Then the black man will think like a black man
And he will feel for other black people
And this new thinking and feeling
Will cause black people to stick together
And then at that point
You'll have a situation where when you attack one black man
You are attacking all black men
And this type of black thinking
Will cause all black people to speak together
And this type of thinking also
Will bring an end to the brutality inflicted upon black people
By white people
And it is the only thing that will bring an end to it
No federal court, state court or city court will bring an end to it
It's something that the black man has to bring an end to himself
