[su_spoiler title=”AN INTRODUCTION TO FIGHTING FOR A CAUSE” style=”fancy” icon=”plus-square-1″]This track by Imani explores how it seems as if all influences targeted at Black people, particularly young males are aimed at criminalising them. However Imani states that this is a strategy to help not just criminalise them but to taint their perspective of this legitimate struggle for justice. Achieved by diverting them from the true heritage and essence of this struggle. [/su_spoiler]

ChorusI said I’m fighting for a cause,
But I’m not a ailing soldier
Neither a wailing Soldier
I’ve been through many wars,
An I’m still bearing the scars,
But I’m still fighting on, and will not pause, because,Although they make it hard,
I’m not going to give them cause,
To put Imani behind bars,
So I’m not going to brake their laws
Because I’m not a rebel without a cause.Verse 1Because, I don’t want, their pretty house an cars
Because in life I don’t store up no treasures,
And I don’t want, what they are putting on offer,
Because the things they have I don’t desire,So I’m not going to leave my culture,
To end up following in their New World Order,
So I rather, keep my faith in the father,
And trust in my full suit of armour (i.e melanin = black skin)Chorus & Verse 2So I’m telling them said, I’m going to fight my jihad
But I fight it as an Ethiopian, And not a Arab,
Because I am a crusader,
With my St George Flag
But still I’m not from the tribe Magog,And it may be true,
I might even be a Hebrew
But not a Jew, from Satan synagogueSo that’s why I am walking (trod),
As a Mighty Hunter Before God,
Like Nimrod,
So I’m glad that I’m……Chorus & Verse 3So I’m showing them that,
Even though they say that I’m a rebel
As an Ethiopian, I know that I’m unconquerable, (rebel)
Check the level, I Never get miserable (rebel)
So if I am a rebel,
Then it must be honourable (rebel),But they say that I’m cursed, because my skin is sable (dark)
Then they gave me that verse about Cain and Abel
Then say yes I was the first leader of the people
But that it was me who built the Tower BabelBut I know its all fable (lies)
Because anytime that I read the Bible
And take off those mental shackles,
And put on my Ethiopian Spectacles
I get the right ammunition
That I need to win this battle,Because when I open up my eyes
And I realize
All the lies,
They devise,
To disguise
That it is through the Ethiopian line
Comes salvation for all Mankind.Dats why I’mChorus & Repeat Verse 2The END[/su_spoiler] Symbol of Struggle
