Ebanie The Measure of A Man

Don't call them white don't call them black
Don't call the fools who make the stack
The visions that you see aren't real
But what you dream of seals the deal,
You love them, they got what you need yeah,

Don't stop to think that you might be
The system, the reality
Unfortunately you will fall
If you don't heed the word the call
Enlightenment is what you live for
You wanna claim victory.

Everyday there's someone trying to say that you can't
Do the impossible but they don't understand
It's the right time for you to show them
What your made of, The measure of a man.

Once you thought that we might be
Nothing but a curiosity
No education for those fools
Even blocking them from every school
Anointed, you know they are
Is just what they be.
Don't fear the truth don't blur the word
Cannot reverse what they have heard
Knowledge turns on every light
It's about to be on, ready for a fight
We want it, about to make history yeah.
