Lyrics / By Any Means Necessary
BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY
WELL I WAS
CHILLING IN MY ROOM
WATCHING MALCOLM X VIDEO,
PUSH BUTTON
CAME OUT ON THE RADIO,
ANOTHER BUTTON AND
THE PICTURE START,
HEARD IT AND SAW IT
MADE US STRONG HEARTED,
BROTHER MALCOLM X
ON THE WHEELS OF STEEL,
HARD CORE
KICKING OUT THE REAL DEAL LIKE,
UNITY, DISCRIMINATION,
TOOK HUMAN RIGHTS
TO THE UNITED NATIONS,
BUSTING OUT
NOW TO THE CONTRARY,
GETTING MY RIGHTS
GETTING MY RIGHTS
BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY.
HE WAS BORN IN THE YEAR 1925,
OMAHA, NEBRASKA
VERY DEPRIVED,
GREW UP PIMPING, STEALING
DOPE DEALING,
HIS LIFE CHANGED
BY THE MOST FORGIVING,
BECAME A MESSENGER
OF THE NATION OF ISLAM,
HAD A LOT OF KNOWLEDGE
I TELL YOU THERE’S STILL SOME,
EDUCATED US
THE IMPORTANCE OF KNOWING,
MIND YOUR BUSINESS
KEEP YOUR MONEY FROM GOING,
OUT COMMUNITY
ANOTHER PLATEAU,
THEY’RE LIVING LARGE
WHILE WE’RE LIVING IN THE GHETTO.
BUSTING OUT
NOW TO THE CONTRARY,
GETTING MY RIGHTS
GETTING MY RIGHTS
BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY.
THE FIRST TIME
SINCE THE DEATH OF GARVEY,
UNITE BLACK PEOPLE
WITHOUT A PARTY,
MALCOLM X PLANTED
A FRUITFUL SEED,
THE RIGHT SEASON
FOR THE TRUTH TO BREED,
INDEPENDENCE
BRINGING ABOUT A CHANGE,
NO LONGER AN IMAGE
THAT WILL MAKE US ASHAME,
NELSON MANDELA
SOUTH AFRICA,
BRING BACK THE PRIDE
TO AMERICA,
SO I’M BUSTING OUT
NOW TO THE CONTRARY,
GETTING MY RIGHTS
GETTING MY RIGHTS
BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY.
MOST DYNAMIC OF
THE BLACK REVOLUTION,
MALCOLM X CONTRIBUTION,
SPIRITAUL POWER
UPLIFT THE BLACK MAN,
HERE THERE
THE MOTHERLAND,
64 HE START HIS OWN
COMMUNITY,
AFRO AMERICAN UNITY,
65 HE WAS ASSASSINATED,
HOLD ON MY BROTHER
WE ARE REGENERATED,
BUSTING OUT
NOW TO THE CONTRARY,
GETTING MY RIGHTS
GETTING MY RIGHTS
BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY.

I am watching your video right now. The sound of your voice makes quite the difference to these lyrics. I really like the old school vibe of your rap. It is very reflective of the time period that you are giving a voice to.
this is a very good set of lyrics. To the point and expresses alot of information about Malcom X. My system is too slow to support Youtube.com but I am assuming if my system did I could hear these lyrics in voice.
great message and strong words it might just get stuck in some one’s head i do think that if “by any means necessary” means what it says you should emphasize it more
By the way the lyrics are laid out, i’m guessing it’s more for a rap genre. I liked the content. Shows good information and knowledge of the Malcalm X. I like the connection to Nelson Mandella. Overall I believe this is a sound piece of work. Nicely done.
