lyrics

Fred Hampton:
If you ever think about me,
and if you think about me niggers,
and if you ain't gonna do 
no revolutionary act
forget about me.

I don't want myself on your mind
If your not going to work for the people.

Like we always said,
If you're asked to make a commitment
at the age of twenty,
and you say,
"I don't want to make a commitment",
Only Because of the simple reason that, 
"I'm too young to die",
"I want to live a little bit longer"...
What you did is,... you're dead already.

You have to understand,
That people have to pay 
the price for peace.

If you dare to struggle,
you dare to win.

If you dare not struggle, then
god damn-it, you don't deserve to win.

Let me say peace to you.
If you're willing to fight for it.

Let me say in the spirit of liberation...
I've been gone for a little while.
At least my body's been gone
for a little while.
But I'm back now.
And I believe that I'm back to stay.

I believe that I'm going to do my job.
And I believe that I was born,
not to die in a car wreck; 

I don't believe that I'm going to die 
in a car wreck.

I don't believe I'm going to die
slipping on a piece of ice;

I don't believe I'm going to die
because I got a bad heart;

I don't believe I'm going to die
because of lung cancer.

I believe that I'm going to be able to 
die doing the things I was born for.

I believe that I'm going to be able
to die high off the people.

I believe that I will be able to die 
as a revolutionary in the
international revolutionary 
proletarian struggle

and I hope that each one of you will
be able to die in the international
proletarian revolutionary struggle
or you'll be able to live in it.
And I think that struggle's 
going to come.

Why don't you live for the people.
Why don't you struggle for the people.

Why don't you die for the people.

(THE PEOPLE):
POWER TO THE PEOPLE!
