Blackbird [underlined]

Alkebulan-Afrika
Mwenyezi-Almighty

Bend tha sky wit' cho' mind
Alkebulan iz calling
A new Sphinx beneath the sands of time
The conquerors flag iz falling
Nappy heads awake 2 dreams
The time iz come 4 rising
The whole Earth iz yo Motherland
The moon iz but an island
A straightening of crooked paths
A strengthening of culture
The power of Mwenyezi wrath
Come like a hungry vulture
Once stumbling block
Now stepping stone
Let none on Earth divert U
Of mind, of spirit, blood, & bone
Who of mankind can hurt U?
