Blessed Are Those Who Struggle - The Last Poets[00:00:00]

Blessed are those who struggle [00:00:02]

Oppression is worse than the grave [00:00:04]

Better to die for a noble cause[00:00:07]

Than to live and die a slave [00:00:09]

Blessed are those who struggle [00:00:12]

Oppression is worse than the grave [00:00:14]

Better to die for a noble cause[00:00:17]

Than to live and die a slave [00:00:19]

Blessed are those who courted death [00:00:22]

Who offered their lives to give [00:00:24]

Who dared to rebel rather than serve[00:00:27]

To die so that we might live [00:00:29]

Blessed are those who struggle [00:00:32]

Oppression is worse than the grave [00:00:34]

Better to die for a noble cause[00:00:37]

Than to live and die a slave [00:00:39]

Blessed are those who took up arms[00:00:42]

And dared to face our foes [00:00:45]

Nat Turner Vesey Gariel Chinque [00:00:47]

To mention a few names we know [00:00:50]

Blessed are those who struggle [00:00:52]

Oppression is worse than the grave [00:00:55]

Better to die for a noble cause[00:00:57]

Than to live and die a slave [00:01:00]

Blessed are the memories of those [00:01:02]

Who were there at the Harper's Ferry Raid [00:01:04]

Strong were their hearts noble their cause[00:01:07]

And great was the price they paid [00:01:10]

Blessed are those who struggle [00:01:12]

Oppression is worse than the grave [00:01:15]

Better to die for a noble cause[00:01:17]

Than to live and die a slave [00:01:20]

Blessed are the voices of those who stood up[00:01:22]

And cried out Let us be free [00:01:24]

Douglas and Garvey and Sojourner Truth [00:01:27]

Dubois and Drew All [00:01:30]

Blessed are those who struggle [00:01:32]

Oppression is worse than the grave [00:01:35]

Better to die for a noble cause[00:01:37]

Than to live and die a slave [00:01:40]

Blessed are the giants that we have loved[00:01:42]

And lost to the bullet's sting [00:01:45]

Like Malcolm and Medgar and the Panthers who fell[00:01:47]

And Martin Luther King [00:01:50]

Blessed are those who struggle [00:01:52]

Oppression is worse than the grave [00:01:55]

Better to die for a noble cause[00:01:57]

Than to live and die a slave [00:02:00]

And blessed are the bodies of those [00:02:02]

Who were hung from the limbs of the sycamore tree [00:02:04]

Who found end to their hope at the end of a rope[00:02:07]

'Cause they dared to attempt to be free [00:02:09]

Blessed are those who struggle [00:02:12]

Oppression is worse than the grave [00:02:15]

Better to die for a noble cause[00:02:17]

Than to live and die a slave [00:02:19]

Up through the years we've continued this fight[00:02:22]

Our liberty to attain [00:02:24]

And though we have faced insurmountable odds[00:02:27]

Yet the will to resist remains [00:02:29]

Blessed are those who struggle [00:02:32]

Oppression is worse than the grave [00:02:34]

Better to die for a noble cause[00:02:37]

Than to live and die a slave [00:02:39]

Blessed are the spirits of those who have died[00:02:42]

In the prisons all over this land [00:02:44]

Who committed one sin they stood up like men[00:02:47]

And got iced for just being a man [00:02:49]

Blessed are those who struggle [00:02:52]

Oppression is worse than the grave [00:02:54]

Better to die for a noble cause[00:02:57]

Than to live and die a slave [00:02:59]

Blessed all you who will join with us now[00:03:02]

In this struggle of life and death [00:03:04]

So that freedom and peace will be more than a word [00:03:06]

To the offspring that we have left [00:03:09]

Blessed are those who struggle [00:03:12]

Oppression is worse than the grave [00:03:14]

Better to die for a noble cause[00:03:16]

Than to live and die a slave [00:03:19]

Blessed are those who struggle [00:03:21]

Oppression is worse than the grave [00:03:24]

Better to die for a noble cause[00:03:26]

Than to live and die a slave [00:03:28]

Blessed are those who struggle [00:03:31]

Oppression is worse than the grave [00:03:34]

Better to die for a noble cause[00:03:36]

Than to live and die a slave[00:03:38]
