Stuck Mojo - An Open Letter lyrics
[Stuck Mojo - An Open Letter lyrics]
An open letter to the Rev jesse Jackson
We, the members of the Mojo family
Feel that your actions and retoric
As a self professed leader
Of the black community are in
Fact detrimental to the very
People you claim to represent
We also feel that as a result you
Do much to undermind the well-being
And harmony of the United States as a
Whole you kind of work for
The advancement of the black community and
You speak from a position
That the black population cannot
Advance it'self socialy, politically
Or economically because an immovable object
The white establishment
Forever blocks it's path
Yet you preach further support such
As welfare and affirmative action
That put members of the population in
A position of dependancy and
Reliance on the establishment
You bask in the glow of the media spot light
You passionately decree
That racism and prejudice are alive today
As they were four hundred years ago
But does this do anything
To reverse it's effect?
No one with the intellegence will deny
That a great atrocity was commited
Against the black race at the hands
Of white settlers of this country
But a wound cannot heal if
It is continuously re-opened that is to say
That it will heal but it will
Take much longer and the
Scar it leaves will be grotesque and
Raise high on the skin
A true leader leads by example and the
Example you have shown is not one
Of stregnth of character, self-reliance
Commentment to excellence or
Personal accountability
It's these trait's that are necessary to
Advace oneself as an individual
It is only as strong curagous and
Moral individuals that any race can
Live the quality of life that it chooses
We give our deepest respect
To the true leaders:
Alan Keys, JC watts, Tony Brown
And Dr walter Williams
Men who never deny their heritege but
Are proud to be first and
Foremost a part of the human race
We, the members of the Mojo family
Feel that your actions and retoric
As a self professed leader
Of the black community are in
Fact detrimental to the very
People you claim to represent
We also feel that as a result you
Do much to undermind the well-being
And harmony of the United States as a
Whole you kind of work for
The advancement of the black community and
You speak from a position
That the black population cannot
Advance it'self socialy, politically
Or economically because an immovable object
The white establishment
Forever blocks it's path
Yet you preach further support such
As welfare and affirmative action
That put members of the population in
A position of dependancy and
Reliance on the establishment
You bask in the glow of the media spot light
You passionately decree
That racism and prejudice are alive today
