Malcolm & Hampton Speak Lyrics

Don't scare Negroes today with no badge or no white skin or no white sheet or no white anything else

The police the same way. They put their club upside your head and then turn around and accuse you of attacking them

Every case of police brutality against a Negro follows the same pattern

They attack you, bust you all upside your mouth and then take you to court and charge you with assault

What kind of democracy is that? What kind of freedom is that

What kind of social or political system is it when a black man has no voice in court

Has no nothing on his side other than what the white man chooses to give him

My brothers and sisters, we have to put a stop to this and it will never be stopped until we stop it ourselves

They attack the victim and then the criminal who attacked the victim accuses the victim of attacking him

This is American justice. This is American democracy

And those of you who are familiar with it know that in America, democracy is hypocrisy

Now, if I'm wrong, put me in jail

But if you can't prove that a democracy is not hypocrisy, then don't put your hands on me

They said to the Black Panther Party, that they can do anything they want to to us

We might not be back. I might be in jail. I might be anywhere

But when I leave, you're going to remember I said, with the last words out my lips, that I am a revolutionary

And you're going to have to keep on saying that. You're going to have to say that I am a proletarian

I am the people. I'm not the pig
