It couldn't have been 'Smith' or 'Jones' or 'Bush' or 'Powell' That wasn't your name They don't have those kind of names where you and I came from No what was your name? And why don't you now know what your name was then? Where was your history? How did a man wipe out your history? How did the man, what did the man do to make you as dumb, as you are right now?

The price of freedom is death
