Malcolm X
Everybody seems to be preaching revolution
But no one ever seems to show appreciation
To that man over there who brought about a new generation
Yes to that man who brought about a new Black nation
Do you remember Malcolm?
Do you remember him, Malcolm?
Yeah brother, Malcolm
Don't you know he was a great man?
Oh yeah hmm
Ooh yeah
He tried to keep a people away from oppression
I say from day to day Malcolm lived for liberation
Until that man with a gun took away his devotion
He left his wife and kids without protection
Do you remember Malcolm?
Do you remember him, Malcolm?
Yeah brother, Malcolm
Don't you know he was a great man?
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
It seems life and death seem to go together
But for me in my heart Malcolm will live forever
Especially when I think about the blackness he reflected
I said especially when I think about all that he represented
Do you remember Malcolm?
Do you remember him, Malcolm?
Yeah brother, Malcolm
Don't you know he was a great man?
Oh yeah
I said yeah, yeah, yeah
Do you remember Malcolm?
Do you remember him, Malcolm?
Yeah brother, Malcolm
Don't you know he was a great man?
Oh yeah, hmm yeah, yeah
Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, hmm yeah, yeah
But no one ever seems to show appreciation
To that man over there who brought about a new generation
Yes to that man who brought about a new Black nation
Do you remember Malcolm?
Do you remember him, Malcolm?
Yeah brother, Malcolm
Don't you know he was a great man?
Oh yeah hmm
Ooh yeah
He tried to keep a people away from oppression
I say from day to day Malcolm lived for liberation
Until that man with a gun took away his devotion
He left his wife and kids without protection
Do you remember Malcolm?
Do you remember him, Malcolm?
Yeah brother, Malcolm
Don't you know he was a great man?
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
It seems life and death seem to go together
But for me in my heart Malcolm will live forever
Especially when I think about the blackness he reflected
I said especially when I think about all that he represented
Do you remember Malcolm?
Do you remember him, Malcolm?
Yeah brother, Malcolm
Don't you know he was a great man?
Oh yeah
I said yeah, yeah, yeah
Do you remember Malcolm?
Do you remember him, Malcolm?
Yeah brother, Malcolm
Don't you know he was a great man?
Oh yeah, hmm yeah, yeah
Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, hmm yeah, yeah
