The Mind Kitchen

Throw up a fist for black power and two fingers for peace
Give the word a piece of my mind as I stand up to speak
Study the past as I act for the future
Invest in today so we'll have something good for tomorrow
Borrow a few words from Malcolm
A little bravery from King
With the resolve of Gandhi
As I perfect my Immortal Technique
Wake up the world with the message that's calling me
Scream for what I want but go out and get what we need
Dismiss all this ignorant bliss and give the people what we miss
Deprogram the foolish funk and make the minds bump
Get out my cooking utensils and prepare some food for thought
Steer up some conversations
Crack open some brains then pour in a few facts
Now walk out the kitchen and take FREEDOM back
