free Huey!
\na demand that sparked
\na movement
\nthe needle
\nwe moved it
\ncloser
\nto freedom
\nHuey P. we freed him
\nbut afterward lost steam
\nwhich means
\nanother deferred dream
\nbut the vision
\nain’t dead
\ninstead
\nwe gotta
\nrevive what he said
\ncommit revolutionary suicide
\nwhich don’t mean
\nwe died
\nbut rather make worlds collide
\ncommit homicide
\nagainst the enemy class
\nwe gotta ride
\nfight the power
\non the peoples side
\nso that our
\npeople survive
\nhow many did Huey
\ninspire?
\nhe lit fire
\nto the best of us
\nfrom chairman Fred
\nto our guerrilla comrade
\nGeorge Jackson
\nAssata Shakur
\nto a hundred groups since
\nfrom real revolutionaries
\nto those on the fence
\nFree Huey!
\nthe demand made perfect sense
\nthey tried to execute him
\nincite division
\nwe gotta revive his mission
\nthat panther vision
\nwhen we say free Huey
\nwe mean us
\nthe people who
\nshare his genius
\nwhat he seen in us
\nwhen he said “All power to the people!”
\nhe was meaning us
\nthe oppressed
\nas a unified force
\nwho would
\nchange the course
\nof the world
\nfrom being ruled by greed
\nto each giving according to ability
\nto each according to need
\nthat means all of us
\nreviving our movement
\nfree the vision
