And this is for Crazy Horse singing as he dies

And this is for the victims of the bombing of Baghdad

 because the enemy traveled from my house to blast your homeland into pieces of children and pieces of sand

against the relentless laughter of evil there is less and less living room and where are my loved ones?

I wanted them to know it's not cheap or disgusting to love a Black revolutionary and as a matter of fact

I wanted them to know you'd better love a Black revolutionary before she gets the idea
