A humble tribute to a great man, freedom fighter and hero. The original videoclip is also on YT. Words by Malcolm X Amazing music by Keith LeBlanc Tommy Boy Music 1983 Lyrics: Distinguished guests Brothers and sisters Ladies and gentlemen Friends and enemies Malcolm X No sell out White, black, brown, red, yellow It doesn't make any difference what color you are The only thing power respects is power They take one little word out of what you say Ignore all the rest And then begin to magnify it all over the world To make you look like what you actually aren't Much of what I say might sound like it's stiring up trouble But it's the truth With the truth We don't care who likes it or not As long as we know it's the truth No, either this or that, this or that If you're wrong, you're wrong And if you're right, you're right There is no skullduggery No flim-flam No compromise No sell out No controlled show Malcolm X No sell out You can't deny that You may not like my saying it But you can't deny it If you're afraid to tell the truth Why you don't even deserve freedom You can't say you're not going to have an explosion And you leave the condition And as long as those ingredients, explosive ingredients, remain Then you're going to have the potential for explosion on your hands Malcolm X No sell out I'm not the kind of person who'd come here to say what you like I've got a plate in front of me But nothing is on it Because all of us are sitting at the same table Are all of us diners?
