Do you remember him, Malcolm? Yeah brother, Malcolm Don't you know he was a great man? Oh yeah, hmm Ooh yeah [Verse 2] He tried to keep a people away from oppression I say from day to day Malcolm lived for liberation Until that man with a gun took away his devotion He left his wife and kids without protection [Chorus] Do you remember Malcolm? Do you remember him, Malcolm? Yeah brother, Malcolm Don’t you know he was a great man? Oh yeah Oh yeah [Verse 3] It seems life and death seem to go together But for me in my heart Malcolm will live forever Especially when I think about the blackness he reflected I said especially when I think about all that he represented Do you remember Malcolm? Do you remember him, Malcolm? Yeah brother, Malcolm Don't you know he was a great man? Oh yeah I said yeah, yeah, yeah [Chorus] Do you remember Malcolm? Do you remember him, Malcolm? Yeah brother, Malcolm Don't you know he was a great man? Oh yeah, hmm yeah, yeah Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, hmm yeah, yeah
