Roy Ayers Shining Symbol Lyrics

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
Whoah 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 yah
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
