Lyrics:

Born January, 1929
Atlanta Georgia, they were poor but
He was a good child from a good home
Read the Good book, took the good road
And at 15 he was in college now
On the fast track
But on that last lap
Somewhere deep inside he realized
A life serving the lordhow can he surpass that?
So then he became a preacher just like his father was
Montgomery Baptist Church
Tired but he had to work
Cause those days
There wasnt much hope if you dont pray
In the segregated south
Where they degraded and played us out
He said forget the law
Its ok to disobey and resist
If the civil disobedience has a noble cause
And its done non violently most of all
Then along came a seamstress
By the name of Rosa who chose ta
Not give her seat up
When they threw her in jail a movement would erupt
A 380 day bus boycott where Martin was the leader
And so they refused to ride, unified
They would rather walk than pay one fair
With laws thats unfair
So they walked and they walked
Til the city buses were vacant
and they gave in
But our victory was bitter sweet
Seeing all that misery
Fast forward new day
On with the crusade
Next stop Freedom Rides
They continued risking lives
As a group of interracial youth take two
Buses thru the deep south
Everybody freaking out
Just exercising constitutional rights
And they beat us wit lead pipes
Buses got slashed tires
Bombs thru the window
They watched it catch fire
But, Martin, see he knew
Their violence would backfire
And when it made the evening news
That meant the world was watchin
And the president had no other option but to hop in

So in comes The National Guard
And we won that battle but the war raged on
So young Martin he was back on his job
Went from Albany to Birmingham
Really I dont understand
How they can treat a learned man
Like he wasnt worth a damn
They took Martin, locked him up
Still he said aint no stoppin us
Came out a renewed man
Said lets find a new plan
They knew that their phones were tapped
So they spoke in code for that
He said to overflow the jails would be the only way
Create a crisis - make em negotiate
He was right and ordered segregation be let go
And in 63 they signed Kings Manifesto
Fast forward to Selma Bloody Sunday
Whod a thought this one day
Would be one of the most N O T O R I O U S
The U.S. would ever know

Bombs at his home
Still he kept goin
Blade thru his chest plate
He was back thee next day
In and outta chains
He shouldered the pain
Only thing that could stop him
Was that bullet with his name
God Bless

The unauthorized biography of MLK JR
From being the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize
Or his Ghandhian non violent approach to fighting for equality
Hes probably most recognized for his Lincoln Memorial Speech I have a dream
He wasnt alive to see it
But that dream came true
(and here he is)




Born Barack Hussein Obama
Mama white as a dove, father black as they come
Honolulu, Hawaii is where he was first brought up
Growin up he was caught up
Playin ball, poor grades
He was just livin up to what Black people were thought of
Til one day he said thats not us, not at all
Buckled down
Got into Columbia, Harvard Law
Spun around
Right into The U.S. Senate
And after that keynote speech at the DNC
He would be
Seen as someone who can lead the way
In a Presidential race for a country in need of change
And when he beat McCain he became
The 1st African American to be elected President
Looking back they say Martin walked
so Obama could run
three dots
because his legacy has just begun

  • @obg2001 it's awsome

  • Martin walked so Obama could run. I like that.

  • MLK-OBAMA...WELL I GUESS IF THATS ALL YALL GOT....BUT REALLY ITS KIND OF A SAD JOKE...

  • @tyronewashington1

    You act like there was no crime before Blacks. Anyway a lot of blacks still don't have proper access to education and the such as a reult they grow up in ghettos and resort to crime for money. On a side note did you know that a black man in an expensive car is more likely to be stopped by the police than a whiteman because they think he stole it?

  • @YourArEa51 You and I are both the same my good willed friend.

  • Lil wayne has nothing on this guy

  • how the hell are you not famous???

  • what a fitting black leader, he was a plagerist, an adulterer, and not to mention connected to the communist party of the united states, from the segeration era to now, the income rate of blacks havent changed even with affirmative action being implemented. blacks remain the highest contributor of crime and depression for everyone who has to live around them.

  • Alas, you can only judge a man by his fruits. MLK left us with an incredible legacy of truth that ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL by our CREATOR. MLK used the principles of the BIBLE and the US CONSTITUTION to awaken the world. However, Obama left us with only lies of hope and peace. Obama used his power to continue to bail out rich and continue our unjust aggression overseas. In the end, only God can judge and vengeance will be his. Peace my brother.
