Ready right now, Ready right now



We people who are darker than blue

Are we gonna stand around this town

And let what others say come true

Are we just good for nothing so them figure



Worthless shifless nigger's

Or is that where its really at?

Head up to the sky

Keep your eyes upon prize

Giving us a brand new story

No mek tribal war destroys we

Let's bring about some unity.

We People of African blue

So long we've been denied

And were just not satisfied
