Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five / Grandmaster Melle Mel Jesse Lyrics

He's coming He's coming He's coming
He's coming He's coming He's coming
He's coming He's coming He's coming

His name is jesse
His name is jesse

Hyprocites and uncle toms are talking trash
Liberty and justice are a thing of the past
They want a stronger nation at any cost
Even if it means that everything will soon be lost

He started at the bottom, now he's on the top
He proved that he could make it, so don't ever stop
Brothers stand together and let the whole world see
How brother Jesse Jackson go down in history

Everybody get up and vote
Everybody get up and vote
Everybody get up and vote
Everybody get up and vote

See Ronald Reagan speaking on TV
Smiling like everything's fine and dandy
Sounded real good when he tried to give a pep talk
To over 30 million poor people like me

How can we say we got to stick it out
When his belly is full and his future is sunny
I don't need his jive advice
But I sure do need his jive time money

The dream is a nightmare in disguise
Red tape and lies fill your for s___ious skies
But don't think that DC just did it first
There's a lot of DC's all over this universe

He started at the bottom, now he's on the top
He proved that he could make it, so don't ever stop
Brothers stand together and let the whole world see
How brother Jesse Jackson go down in history

Everybody get up and vote
Everybody get up and vote
Everybody get up and vote
Everybody get up and vote

The land of the free and the home of the brave
But it might as well be the home of the slave
They got me walking around saying freedom's come
But my body is free and my mind is dumb

The people ain't black but the house is white
And just because I'm different they don't treat me right
They done cast me aside and held me down
Dragged my name down to the ground

Oh beautiful for s___ious skies
With your amber waves of untold lies
Look at all the politicians trying to do a job
But they can't help but look like the mob

Get a big kick back and put it away
Watch the FBI watch the CIA
They want a bigger missile with a faster yet
But yet they forget to hire you the vet

Hypocrites just talkin trash
Liberty and Justice are a thing of the past
They want a stronger nation at any cost
Even if it means that everything will soon be lost

Breakdown...
Everybody get out and vote
Everybody get out and vote
Everybody get out and vote
Everybody get out and vote

The 30th day that's in december
Is a day that everyone's gonna remember
Because on that day a righteous man
Thought about taking a brand new stand

The name of the man is Jesse Jackson and his call
Is for peace without an action
Cause now is the time to change the nation
Without just another negotiation

He went to the East for human rights
To free a lieutenant shot down in flight
Just another statistic and the government knew it
They didn't even want the man to go do it

Before he left he called the president's home
And Reagan didn't even answer the phone
But I tell you one thing and that's a natural fact
You can bet he calls Jesse when Jesse got back

He started at the bottom, now he's on the top
He proved that he could make it, so don't ever stop
Brothers stand together and let the whole world see
How brother Jesse Jackson go down in history

Hypocrites just talkin trash
Liberty and Justice are a thing of the past
They want a stronger nation at any cost
Even if it means that everything will soon be lost

So for fast and friendly service hey
There's no need to be nervous hey
He's changing our conditions hey
So join the rainbow coalition come on
