Professional Lynching Professional lynching your hands were not black You waited so long to stab a knife in my back You took it to the highest level I know your father he is the devil You think that you have gotten by I see hatred and relief in your eye A young black man you were glad you killed You took his life but not his will It lives in all of us you see And you will never abolish me That right my soul you snatched away But did you first sit think and pray You said if I could eliminate The young black race their backs I’ll break But wait a minute did you think Of Doctor Martin Luther King You took his life or so you thought But for it all of our freedom you bought His body may be in the grave But for it we got better days See in the White House is Barack And you didn’t give a second thought But his blood still flows in our veins And we’re still singing let freedom ring From the mountain top of Stone Moutain Georgia All the way to Sanford Florida We will never be destroyed For our heart s are overjoyed See our missions they run deep Harriet Tubman stood on her feet When Trayvon could not find his way home The blood of Sojourner Truth led him on His mentor’s murderer is not of you But of those you never knew You got away but you’ll never get by Soon you’ll look God in his eye Our mission you will not abort But we will continually move forth To do the things that must be done Till the setting of the sun elaine taylorbrown elainetaylorbrown@aol.com
