To Today’s Black Leaders
Part 2: I’m on Your Hills
By Tracy Hunter

Strong-willed Strong-minded Determined Focused Yeah, that’s me Aren’t you glad that I’m what you have to look forward to? Or are you afraid? Are you afraid that I’m going to step in and stir up things in the camp? Allow me to alleviate some of your anxiety You see I come bearing the armor, the whole armor You know, the helmet, the breast plate, the sword I come ready to wage war I come prepared to fight a battle for which I already know the outcome I come determined to fix what you’ve messed up Improve upon the foundation you’ve laid Finish what you’ve started You see black leader: I recognize that sometimes a leader needs to be led And the sleep needs to go to bed You’re dozing black leader You’re dozing! Look out Jesse, you know the deal I’ve already told you “I’m On Your Hills” Look out Al ‘cause here I come Ready to lead my people home
