Alake Anikulapo Kuti - 2000 Blacks Got To Be Free Lyrics

2000 Blacks Got To Be Free LyricsIt's "2000 Black," and, of course, we're hoping that, by the year 2000...
We know that by the year 2000 – that's even better
Everybody will be... knowledgeable
Ya understand? Everybody, like – "2000 Black, 2000 Black..." (2000 Black, 2000 Black...)

[Vibraphone solo: Roy Ayers]

I want you
And you, and you, and you,
And especially you
To listen to me

Like many other Black men,
I have a dream
Like many other Black men,
I have a vision with that dream
My dream, and my vision,
Are the coming together of Black minds,
Within this universe we livе in
Now, what I mean by the "coming togethеr"-ness of Black minds, is this –

Better think about your future, y'all, and don’t forget your past
'Cause all the things we've lived before cannot be lived again
And all our people's tears cannot be shed again
Better think about your future, y'all, and don’t forget your past
People, we need to change – it's a plain and simple fact
Think about your future, yeah – think about where the present's at

Think about 2000 Black
Think about 2000 Black
Think about 2000 Black
Think about 2000 Black

By the year time 2000 comes, our minds should be as one
We need to teach our people how to come together once again
As we grow as one, in unity
All the knowledge which we all contain
Must now expand our minds

Think about 2000 Black (Think about it)
Think about 2000 Black (Think about it)
Think about 2000 Black (Think about it)
Think about 2000 Black (Think about it)
Think about 2000 Black (Think about it)
(Think about it)

Think about 2000 Black
Think about 2000 Black
Think about 2000 Black
Think about 2000 Black

People, we need to change
It’s a plain and simple fact
Think about your future,
Think about where the present's at
Think about unity
Think about unity (Think about it)
Think about unity (Think about it)
Think about unity (Think about it)
Think about you and me (Think about it)
Think about righteousness (Think about it)
Think about positive vibes (Think about it)
Think about togetherness (Think about it)
Togetherness – yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! C'mon

Better think about your future, y'all, and don’t forget your past
'Cause all the things we've lived before cannot be lived again
And all our people's tears cannot be shed again
Better think about your future, y'all, and don’t forget your past

Don't forget yo' past
Don't forget your past
Don't forget your past
Don't forget your past
Don't forget your past...
Don't–forget–your past

Think about those minds, our minds (Think about it) – together, together
Together (Think about it) – 2000 Black

Together (Think about it) – together
Ooh-ooh-ooh... (Think about it)

Be aware, I do declare – remember South Africa 2
Be aware, I do declare – remember South Africa 2

Now, just listen to the beat
To the beat of the drum
Remember when – and where it came from
It came from – the continent, called Africa
Now, by the time the year 2000 rolls around
I wanna have my mind together
Now, by the time the year 2000 comes,
I wanna have our minds together
Now, by the time the year 2000 comes,
We might disappear
But if you use your mind, and expand your vision
You will hear – that the year is near
And I want you to think about it (Think about it)

Think about unity (Think about it)
Think about family (Think about it)
Think about prosperity (Think about it)
Think about righteousness,
Think about positiveness (Think about it)
Think about excellence
Think about blackness (Think about it)
Think about Africa
Think about men, women, children... (Think about it) – everybody!
The strong mind (Think about it)
Think! Use your mind (Think about it)
And, in time, you'll unwind your mind (Think about it)
2000 Black!!!(Think about it)

2000 Black will be Black
2000 Black will be Black (Say it again...)
2000 Black will be Black (Say it again, say it again)
2000 Black will be Black (Say it again)
