Pray for me, Louie
And Brother Ken in Colorado
We won't lie down for bastinado

Pray for C. Thomas
Who chose to rise above his station
Without Massuh Kennedy's sanction

Pray for the war vet
At the 1/1,000,000th man march with the flag
Whom your minions arrogantly slagged

Pray for Jesse J.
Whose greedy hands are stained with King's blood
Who can't stop the truth, nor stay its flood

Pray for black churches
That you threatened with "Qur'an"ic wrath
Was it you who chose to block the path?
