Black Monday - Buckshot LeFonque

Black Monday

That’s what this joint is all about

Black Monday

A million men strong without a doubt

Black Monday

It’s not just a role that one plays

Black Monday

So we can have justice one day

Black Monday

Black, Black Monday

Hey Yo, B — I thougt we conquered the world

When a million men came and shined like a

Black pearl

This time there was no black on black crime

'Cause everybody was thinkin' of ways that pays for

The black mind

One & equal

Not thinkin' of wealth

But knowledge of self

So the past won’t repeat like a sequel

Visions of unity

Strong in the community

The same song sung for diplomatic immunity

Is soon to be reality

Not just a formality, an actuality

Built strong by our morality

Can you see what I can see

One force that be lettin' me be what I be

Without costing me members of my family tree

One man can stand for all

But who got his back when he fall

Yo, I had a dream that one day

One million men stood strong and we called it

Black Monday

Black Monday

Black Monday

Black, Black Monday

By now we all know that some wrongs have

Been committed

So be wise, organize my man

Yo, you with it?

Let’s have the courage to stand up and speak out

Reach out and help out

No doubt

See we can actually make a difference

The politicians got game, but I say who are

They kiddin'

Seriously, we gotta get our own thing tight

'Cause we ain’t even learned

To treat our own peeps right

You don’t have to be a scholar to acknowledge

You shouldn’t harm your own just 'cause your

Fiendin' for dollars

That’s messed up, so fess up

It’s good for the soul

Repent

Change your ways

Exhibit more self control

We must be willin' to stop the killin'

'Cause if not

We’ll destroy what our forefathers were building

Step up

Do something

It’s your duty and purpose

All the material pleasures ultimately are worthless

Curses

They are not needed to explain that

You will wreck your brain

If you do not maintain

Reconciliation, restoration and resolution

Atonement

Completion of perfect union
