Black Seeds Keep on Growing - The Main Ingredient[00:00:00]
Written by:Donald McPherson/Tony Silvester/Luther Simmons Jr.[00:00:01]
Speak drums[00:00:02]
Tell the real story[00:00:05]
For the people who would condemn in slavery time[00:00:07]
Their brothers and sisters for being ignorant[00:00:09]
Listen to the story the drums tell[00:00:13]
They say you black man[00:00:16]
Should love those brothers and sisters even in death[00:00:20]
Because their valiant struggle for life made you what you are today[00:00:24]
So keep on growing for them[00:00:29]
In mind in body and in soul[00:00:32]
The seed was planted in a big uncultured land[00:00:42]
Planted by a black uncultured man[00:00:47]
No one gave much thought to the black seed[00:00:51]
No one seemed to care about its need[00:00:56]
Oh[00:00:59]
Black seeds keep on growing[00:01:01]
Ooo[00:01:04]
Black seeds keep on growing[00:01:05]
Without water the seed just couldn't last for long[00:01:09]
So it fooled everyone and it grew up big and strong[00:01:13]
It grew in soil that was so unfit to sow[00:01:19]
Still that black seed continued to grow[00:01:24]
Oh[00:01:27]
Black seeds keep on growing[00:01:28]
Ooo[00:01:31]
Black seeds keep on growing[00:01:32]
You got it I got it[00:01:37]
All God's people got soul[00:01:39]
You got it I got it[00:01:41]
All God's people got soul[00:01:43]
Planted so close together they could hardly breathe[00:01:47]
Exposed to the weather[00:01:51]
It's hard to believe[00:01:53]
How a little black seed could stand up against the pressure[00:01:56]
And come out smellin' sweet and lookin' fresher[00:02:00]
Black seeds keep on growing[00:02:05]
Ooo[00:02:08]
Black seeds keep on growing[00:02:09]
You got it I got it[00:02:14]
All God's people got soul[00:02:16]
You got it I got it[00:02:18]
All God's people got soul[00:02:20]
Yeah yeah yeah yeah[00:02:22]
Make the man who sowed the first seed feel proud of you[00:02:26]
Make the man who plants his after feel proud too[00:02:30]
Just push together harder and the battle will be won[00:02:34]
Look back in time four hundred years and see what they have done[00:02:39]
Don't let 'em down[00:02:43]
Black seeds keep on growing[00:02:45]
Let the people know[00:02:47]
Black seeds keep on growing[00:02:49]
This ain't no time to be slow[00:02:51]
Black seeds keep on growing[00:02:53]
You need to be standin' tall[00:02:55]
Black seeds keep on growing[00:02:58]
And don't you ever fall[00:03:00]
Black seeds keep on growing[00:03:02]
Don't let 'em down no don't let 'em down[00:03:04]
Black seeds keep on growing[00:03:07]
No no no no no[00:03:09]
Black seeds keep on growing[00:03:11]
