Love respect appreciation

To the Black Messiah

To the Black Panther Party we salute

It's God Rakim let's go

1948 Chicago Illinois a young panther was born

He became a man when he was just a little boy

Excellent athlete he excelled in the classroom too

High supreme action speed that's when his passions grew

Racial injustices poverty slavery

He went to college studied law then joined the NAACP

A lot of bad things happened people need to have answers

Why should he keep asking

So he joined the Black Panthers

Have a mission known the system invite try to get all of them

Fight capitalism the socialism fight fire with water

The right cause grow plan that requires understanding

The life course of a good man the Black Messiah Fred Hampton

Am I a good man

Am I a good man

A good man

Am I a good man

Am I a good man

A good man

Man had a lot of heart some say a lot of nerves

Man had a lot of smarts the man with the million dollar words

Led by example righteous people wanna follow

Take a special kind of man to unite the gangs of Chicago

Made 'em March in peace become allies soldiers

Supervised the police they brutalized and controlled us

He wouldn't miss a lot of tricks told them what he knew about law

Informed them about politics told them what he knew about war

All races one vision the American activist

Began the Rainbow Coalition everybody thought Jackson did

Genocide a global bliss poetry like a vocalist

FBI's Most Wanted list revolutionary socialist

Am I a good man

Am I a good man

A good man

Am I a good man

Am I a good man

A good man

Here we go

They can't take it no longer he getting bigger by the hour

Everyday getting stronger the people give him more power

Intelligent disciplined he can organize confusion

Militant different he can recognize illusions

Maybe overthrow the government protest riots

Maybe even run for President but who would want to keep him quiet

The informant's on the inside he still seems unstoppable

But this is always how our leaders die because they getting too powerful

Like the barrel of a gun crucified he was only 21

Look at all the things he did in a short time

Imagine all the things that he could've done

If he could speak from the grave Fred Hampton would say this：

You can kill a Black Panther but the Panther still exists

This record is dedicated to the Chairman Fred Hampton

May you rest in everlasting peace

And to his family his queen Akua Njeri

And his son the Chairman Fred Hampton Jr

Peace love and respect
