Emmett Till And I Were About The Same Age. A Week After He Was Murdered... I Stood On A Corner With A Gang Of Boys, Looking At Pictures Of Him In The Black Newspapers And Magazines. In One, He Was Laughing And Happy. In The Other, His Head Was Swollen And Bashed In, His Eyes Bulging Out Of Their Sockets, And His Mouth Twisted And Broken... I Couldn't Get Emmett Till Out Of My Mind, Until One Evening I Thought Of A Way To Get Back At White People For His Death.

Everything I Got Comes From Elijah Mohammed. He Taught Me Who I Was, He Made Me Proud, He Made Me Fearless, He Made Me Love My Own, I’ve Turned Down Millions To Keep From Selling Out My People, The Beautiful Name Mohammed Ali. And White People Cannot Destroy Me Like They Have Other Big Ministers Of His In The Past By Telling Us Oh, You Speak Good, You Should Be The Leader.white People Make Me Thinkin' That I'm Smart, And As Soon As I Leave Elijah You Can Get Me. But As Long As I Stay With The Honorable Elijah Mohammed I'm Safe.
