Former Ladder, Pt. 1

I think what you're trying to ask is why am I
So insistent upon
Giving out to them
That BLACK-ness, that BLACK-power, that BLACK
Pushing them to identify with black culture
I think that's what you're asking
I have no choice over it; in the first place
To me we are the most beautiful creatures in the whole world, black people
And I mean that in every sense, outside and inside
And to me we have a culture that is surpassed by no other civilization

BLACK-ness that
BLACK-ness that
BLACK-ness that

By hook or crook
To get more aware of themselves
And where they came from
And what they are into and what is already there

BLACK-ness that
BLACK-ness that

By hook or crook
To get more aware of themselves
And where they came from
And what they are into and what is already there

BLACK-ness that
BLACK-ness that
BLACK-ness that
BLACK-ness that

I think what you're trying to ask is why am I so insistent
So insistent
So insistent
So insistent

So insistent
So insistent
So insistent

BLACK-ness that
So insistent

I think what you're trying to ask is why am I so insistent upon...
Giving out to them that BLACK-ness
That BLACK-power, that BLACK pushing them to identify with

By hook or crook
To get more aware of themselves
And where they came from
And what they are into and what is already there

By hook or crook
To get more aware of themselves
And where they came from
And what they are into and what is already there

I think what you're trying to ask is why am I so insistent
So insistent
BLACK-ness that
So insistent

BLACK-ness that
So insistent
BLACK-ness that
So insistent
BLACK-ness that
So insistent
BLACK-ness that

They are our future
It's an investment as far as Im concerned
And I invest Time

So insistent
Time
So insistent
Time

By hook or crook, to get more aware of themselves
And where they came from and what they are into and what is already there

BLACK-ness that
So insistent
BLACK-ness that
So insistent
So insistent

So insistent
So insistent

They are our future
Its an investment as far as Im conceded and I invest Time

BLACK-ness that
So insistent
BLACK-ness that
So insistent
So insistent
So insistant
