Vote Black America, vote.
Without you, there is no hope,
Just other ways to make us cope
With politics beyond humanity's scope.
Without you, there is no hope,
Just other ways to make us cope
With politics beyond humanity's scope.
Loose the shackles upon our children's feet.
Send the "good ole' boys" into retreat.
Withdraw our men from terror's street.
Vote for honesty, vote for peace.
Send the "good ole' boys" into retreat.
Withdraw our men from terror's street.
Vote for honesty, vote for peace.
Vote Black America, vote,
For without you, there is no hope,
Just failed democracy on a slippery slope
And shattered dreams at the end of our rope.
For without you, there is no hope,
Just failed democracy on a slippery slope
And shattered dreams at the end of our rope.
Stand up for the cause of right.
Stand up proudly for those who fight.
Make a difference, make a change.
Vote for progress, vote for gain.
Stand up proudly for those who fight.
Make a difference, make a change.
Vote for progress, vote for gain.
Vote Black America, vote,
For without you, there is no hope.
Vote this time for you, for me.
Vote now and ever for history.
For without you, there is no hope.
Vote this time for you, for me.
Vote now and ever for history.
