Let excellence be the thesis of your being
Be the monarch of your own gifts
Resist colonial mentality
Do not dignify conformists with the privilege of your attention
Do not be deterred by the prospect of losing status when you stand firmly for what you know is right
Do not equate indigenous with uncultured
The african has been, is and will always be exceptional
If your rebellion is not creating new economies you're doing it wrong
Productivity is a word you pray with your sweat
Be a garden of originality and intiative
Be so authentic it compels another to be patriotic
Be so indispensable it takes 3 people to replace you
Blessed are the unsatisfied, for they shall be the catalysts of change
Blessed are the artists for they shall create possible futures
Blessed are the quiet revolutionaries, for they shall never be forgotten
With your head, heart and hand; mirror God
