Lyrics for Intransigence of The Blind

The intransigence of the blind is by election Barring them from seeing the history Sadistically playing people of colour Can you see what I'm saying? Do you see that black people are lynched around the country By officers hired to serve and protect The wealth and power of colonised Europeans? I am the descendent of the channel, and I am your brother We are descendents of the motherland As every human shares the same African mother Mitochondrial Eve We have the choice to win But participation, self investment and understanding Is vital to the race Before we became (20 and odd negros) We loved each other I still love you Children, are you listening? James Massey, Jr
