You already in the race
Don't you give up, your time will come
The race is not for the swift but for the smart
When things get rough on you, don't get upset
Just keep a smile with love in your heart
One day I know the good Lord will help you out
Just keep your head up high
With love in your heart
With a song in your thought
Love your fellow black man, treat every man good
Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth
But those that exalted themselves shall be abased
Love and unity
