Malcolm X
No sell out
White, black, brown, red, yellow
It doesn't make any difference what color you are
The only thing power respects is power
They take one little word out of what you say
Ignore all the rest
And then begin to magnify it all over the world
To make you look like what you actually aren't
Much of what I say might sound like it's stiring up trouble
But it's the truth
It's the truth...
We don't care who likes it or not
As long as we know it's the truth
No, either this or that, this or that
If you're wrong, you're wrong
And if you're right, you're right
There is no skullduggery
No flim-flam
No compromise
No sell out
No controlled show
Malcolm X
No sell out
You can't deny that
You may not like my saying it
But you can't deny it
If you're afraid to tell the truth
Why you don't even deserve freedom
You can't say you're not going to have an explosion
When you leave the conditions
And as long as those ingredients, explosive ingredients, remain
Then you're going to have the potential for explosion on your hands
Malcolm X
No sell out
I'm not the kind of person who'd come here to say what you like!
I've got a plate in front of me
But nothing is on it
Because all of us are sitting at the same table
Are all of us diners?
I'm not a diner until you let me dine
Then I become a diner
I was in my house last night that was bombed - my own
It isn't something that made me lose confidence in what I'm doing
Brothers and sisters, friends
And I see some enemies...
