(Verse) 1968, USA, a million black models having their day. Mexico city, blood red sky, polite stain here, fists held high. (Pre-Chorus) Some for justice, rectify. With snipping columns struck their pride. (Chorus) Took a black power salute, Took a black power salute, Took a black power salute, Take a free to define the truth. (Verse) Political protests of a higher time, For simple rights better be in deny. Our lives in wait, our end directed,
A revolution, our distant nights. sponsored links (Pre-Chorus) Some for justice, rectify. With snipping columns struck their pride. (Chorus) Took a black power salute, Took a black power salute, Took a black power salute, Take a free to define the truth. (Chorus) Took a black power salute, Took a black power salute, Took a black power salute, Take a free to define the truth.
