Ah they tryin to keep a good man down but they can’t

Many people don’t want to be in the struggle like this
Mandela take it to, take it to higher heights
and take it free
Now’s the time for him to be free and yes, he’s free
And all we Black folks love to see

As the struggle goes on and on, he stands
Truths, and rights, and justice stands for all
So let him free
Holler out say you love Mandela
