We Talk A Lot About Malcom X And Martin Luther King Jr, But It's Time To Be Like Them, As Strong As Them. They Were Mortal Men Like Us And Everyone Of Us Can Be Like Them.

But Tomorrow I See A Change, A Chance To Build Anew, Built On Spirit, Intent Of Heart, And Ideas Based On Truth. Tomorrow I Wake With Second Wind And Strong Ideas Of Pride. I Know I Fought With All My Heart To Keep The Dream Alive.

If Colin Powell Was President, I'd Follow Him. I Wanna Get Into Politics. That's The Way For Us To Overcome A Lot Of Our Obstacles.

It's Gonna Take The Man In Me To Conquer This Insanity.
