Shining Symbol

Roy Ayers

Its not the end
Its the beginning

The laws around you
The court tries you
The jail engulfs you
But
Its not the end
Its the beginning
Whoa ooh
Darkness conceals your [?] soul

Revenge is a virtue
You stood up like you should
Standing up strong
Like we all wish we could

You're a shining symbol
A shining symbol
A shining symbol
Of black pride

You're a new breed
A future seed
A new breed
A future seed
Of black pride, yeah

You're a shining symbol
A shining symbol
A shining symbol
Of black pride

You're a new breed
A future seed
A new breed
A future seed
Of black pride, yeah
