He said
Up You mighty race
You can accomplish what you will
He said
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
none but ourselves can free our minds
He said
If you have no confidence in self, you are twice defeated in the race of life
He said
Never forget that intelligence rules the world and ignorance carries the burden.
He said
Lose not courage, lose not faith, go forward.

He said
Pay no attention to the man who criticizes
Unless he is doing something better than what he criticizes
He said
You at this time can only be
Destroyed by yourselves from within
And not from without
You have reached the point where the
Victory is to be won from within
And can only be lost from within
He said
A people without the knowledge of their past history
Origin and culture is like a tree without roots

Tell meh! Tell me

He said
Some of us seem to accept
The fatalist position
The fatalist attitude
That God accorded to us
A certain position and
Condition, and therefore there's
No need trying to be else
The moment you accept such
An attitude, the moment
You accept such an opinion
The moment you harbor such
An idea, you hurl an
Insult at the great God who
Created you, because you
Question Him for His love
You question Him for His mercy

What did Marcus Garvey say
I wonda
What did Garvey say
What did Marcus Garvey say
I wonda
What did Marcus say
Tell meh! Tell me
What did Marcus Garvey say

Up! You mighty race
You can accomplish what you will

Up! You mighty race
Up! Up
You can accomplish what you will

Up! You mighty race
Up! Up! You mighty race
You can accomplish what you will

Up! You mighty race
Up! Up
You can accomplish what you will

Up! You mighty race
Up! Up! You mighty race
You can accomplish what you will
