Where You Fell

I stood there frozen

The bottom of my heart has just fell out

My eyes couldn’t leave the white mark on the pavement as I studied every word that left her mouth

The history of the block, the story of the people, the poetry of our pain

My eyes filled with tears for what could have been, for what our people still haven’t attained

All the tricks these crackas run — even our best neutralized

Pigs don’t even face consequences for when our people brutalized

We need some soldiers right now — a thousand New Afrikan brigade

All my street niggas that’s been bouncing out catching fades

So accustomed to hunting our own — without realizing that’s how these kkkolonizers do

Got you ditching ya roots, believing what these europeans follow, now you kkkolonized too

Tryna wash us away from our African identity & history. — have us believing amerikkka’s “truth”

& we know that You told us that the revolution would always be in the hands of the youth

So we March on in the spirit of the Panthers, the 10 point program & our love for the people

To live for the people, to die for the people, to accept revolutionary suicide until we defeat this evil

We will win, I know we will win, I believe we will be free

& as I stood there frozen, full of emotion, I could feel the spirit of Huey P

So long live the mighty Panther, minister of defense

I’ll never forget when I stood where you fell & for all the people I wept
