Malcolm X Songtext
von Miriam Makeba

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

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

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

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

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
