Yes We Can

by Oliver Koletzki & Roland Clark

on Nasty Ballo (An Hell Yeah DJ-mix) (2009), Yes We Can (2009)

When they say you are inferior
Do not believe a word they say
Resist
When they say they need billions of dollars
To build bombs instead of build schools, open your eyes
Resist
When they say they want to preserve our way of life
So they must take life, this is a lie
Resist

Speak truth the power!
Do not comply, do not believe, do not accept
Do not be afraid, do not surrender, do not judge
Do not bear false witness against thy neighbor

When they stop you and drag you in and you ask why
And they say you fit the profile, run for your life!
Resist
When they knock down your door and say that they are taking your land
In the name of eminent domain, this is not fair!
Resist

When they pin up people against the people of the nation
Against the nation in the name of world domination
Resist

Speak truth the power!
Do not comply, do not believe, do not accept
Do not be afraid, do not surrender, do not judge
Do not bear false witness against thy neighbor

When they create unjust laws to repress, oppress and suppress
Higher learning for our young black minds
Resist
