miriam makeba - malcom x (original single 1974) lyrics

[verse 1]
everybody seems to be preaching revolution
but no one ever seems to show appreciation
to that man over there who brought about a new generation
yes, to that man 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?
oh yeah, hmm
ooh yeah

[verse 2]
he tried to keep a people away from oppression
i say from day to day malcolm lived for liberation
until that man with a gun took away his devotion
he left his wife and kids without protection

[chorus]
do you remember malcolm?
do you remember him, malcolm?
yeah brother, malcolm
don’t you know he was a great man?
oh yeah
oh yeah
[verse 3]
it seems life and death seem to go together
but 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 all that he represented
do you remember malcolm?
do you remember him, malcolm?
yeah brother, malcolm
don’t you know he was a great man?
oh yeah
i said yeah, yeah, yeah

[chorus]
do you remember malcolm?
do you remember him, malcolm?
yeah brother, malcolm
don’t you know he was a great man?
oh yeah, hmm yeah, yeah
ooh yeah, yeah, yeah
yeah, hmm yeah, yeah
