Running with my fellow slaves I have to be brave, underground railroad survival is my trade,
To reach up north to the masses to preach about  things I believe in and ideas from my dream,
The message is so heavy I need to take a knee, hop up on this bus sit up front in the back is no longer where I be,
Now open up your eyes, take flight and write, create a Renaissance, win an oscar, be president and lead.
