A New Mountaintop
Jefferson was no man of equality
spitting lines about freedom
and individuality
while holding the chains
of my brothers and me
His legacy never lost
on a new generation
throughout the ages
we preach his same messages
still with the underlying aggression
for saying freedom
is not the same as getting it
The blood of the American ancestors
the true founders
whose history was burned away
simultaneously
with the birth of this new nation
which still contained and still contains
the flaws of any other plantation
But our history is not desolate
We must rediscover the words
That made guns fire
Signs ablaze
Bridges made
A new prophecy
Of modern days
We listen to the great americans
Martin, malcolm,
Their words fade away
But we remember the meaning
Of a new mountaintop
