When I get older losing my hair,
Many years from now.

Birthday greetings bottle of wine.
If I’d been out till quarter to three
Would you lock the door,

When I’m sixty-four

Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you’re a man, you take it.
Malcolm X (1925 - 1965), Malcolm X Speaks, 1965

Oh-wo-ho, oh-wo-ho

(Tell me can you feel it)
(Tell me can you feel it)
