Lyrics:
(22 million black victims of Americanism are waking up) As-salaam-alaikum, blackman Time to make a stand Time to wake up, and Time to make a plan and band Together like China We need to find a Better form of unity Then we'll be In the right path, on the right track Dark or light black Don't let em tell you it's wrong to fight back (Come on) But the enemy is not your brother It's that other muthafucka The one that baited, robbed and degraded you And he don't like to see you've made it through The bullshit that came with bein a brotherman Stolen from the motherland Placed in another land? 400 and some odd years ago Till about the time we wore afros We've come so far so fast ]From what they call the past But that just passed And we're the last in line for justice, what's this? Naw man, that ain't gon' work, yo, bust this Black to the future, back to the past History is a mystery, cause it has All the info You need to know Where you're from, why'd you come And that'll tell you where you're going (We gotta unite We gotta work together in unity and harmony) Black to the future (Come on) (3x) (Into the future) Black to the future, what a funky concept A poet with soul, brothers and sisters, let's step Together in sync, just think about the outcome We know where we're goin, because we know where we came from A united state of mind But not the kind That the United States government fakes (Nope) They don't practise what they preach Maybe they don't believe in those false beliefs Themselves, and I can tell, cause they look scared To see us comin up, because they're not prepared For a new breed of leaders Eager and fired up And tired of The lies you feed us So we just (What?) Got together like one nation under a groove Gettin down, and the funk of it can move And start a movement of self-improvement And before you know it, you went Black to the future Black to the F-u-t- U-r-e (Get on up) (Come on) (Get on up, brotherman) (I want you to get on up) I grab the mic with a kung-fu grip So it don't slip, and come out on a positive black tip Hip all my brothers and sisters to the real deal With unity and knowledge I feel we'll Uprise, who knows what lies Ahead, but you can't see if you're livin with shut eyes So realize, united we stand, divided we fall Provided we all heed the call Comin from the muslim, or the rasta man Two forms of a positive blackman W. E. B. Du Bois and Booker T King and X, Farrakhan and Jesse Men with means that differ But their goals were equal To uplift African people Through violence or non-violence, I don't care As long as we get there (Where?) Black to the future (Into the future) What a funky concept [Man] Hey brother Excuse me, man I don't mean to bother you, man But I - Brother, you think I can get a little bit change from you? [Jef] Some change, man? [Man] Yeah man, I just need a little bit change, man You give me some change That's all I'm askin [Jef] Aight man, I'm gon' give you this change, man But I want you to listen to me for a second, alright? [Man] Alright man, whatcha got to say? [Jef] Brothers always talkin about change Brothers'll change their clothes To go out on the street and make some quick change A brother might even kill another brother over the wrong change Brothers change from men to women Brothers change their hair from natural to that damn jherri curl Brothers even change their eyes, man Brothers always talkin bout change Goin through changes Changes, changes, changes But when it come time for a real change Brothers change their mind, man [Man] Aw man, I - I hear you, man Hey man, you gave me more change than I asked for You must be one of them revolutionaries, man...
