Everybody seems to be preaching revolution
Though no one ever seems to show appreciation
To that man over there who brought about a new generation
To that man over there who brought about a new black nation
Do you remember Malcolm
Do you remember him, Malcolm
Yeah brother Malcolm
Don’t you know he was a great man
He tried to keep the people away from oppression
From day to day M lived for liberation
Until that man with a gun took away his devotion
He left his wife and kids without protection
Do you remember Malcolm
Do you remember him, Malcolm
Yeah brother Malcolm
Don’t you know he was a great man
Oh yeah
It seems life and death seem to go together
For me in my heart, Malcolm will live forever
Especially when I think about the blackness he reflected
I said especially when I think about the one he represented
Do you remember Malcolm
Do you remember him, Malcolm
Oh yeah brother Malcolm
Don’t you know he was a great man
Oh yeah
Though no one ever seems to show appreciation
To that man over there who brought about a new generation
To that man over there who brought about a new black nation
Do you remember Malcolm
Do you remember him, Malcolm
Yeah brother Malcolm
Don’t you know he was a great man
He tried to keep the people away from oppression
From day to day M lived for liberation
