Amiri Baraka Amiri Baraka

Who will survive America?
Few Americans very few Negroes and no crackers at all
Who will survive America?
Few Americans very few Negroes and no crackers at all
Who will survive America?
Few Americans very few Negroes and no crackers at all

Who will survive America?
Who will survive America?
Who will survive America?
Who will survive America?
Who will survive America?

The poor, the soul will survive
Who will survive America?
Few Americans very few Negroes and no crackers at all
Who will survive America?
Few Americans very few Negroes and no crackers at all

Who will survive America?
Who will survive America?
Who will survive America?

The black future will

You can’t with stand these moments on
Rushing black feet
Screaming something lovely and n******
I am here you are / my colored / bourgeoisie
N****** / my half white professional
Status n******
S*** or get off the pot
Who will survive?
These are the words of my mother
Who will survive
America
Who will survive
America
Who will survive
America
Who will survive
America
Who will survive

Who will survive
America
Who will survive
America

Few Americans very few Negroes and no crackers at all

Will you survive
Where you are
In your suit
And tie
Nigga
Can you survive
In the heat
In the summer
Nigga

In the winter
Will you survive with
The wild
In the forests

Will you survive
When you survive
Will you survive
Will you walk crazy
Will you walk crazy
Will you survive
Will you survive

America

Few Americans very few Negroes and no crackers at all

Will you survive
When it comes after you
Will you survive
When it runs after you
Will you survive
When it comes after you
Will you survive
America
Will you survive

When it comes after you
When it comes after you
Will you survive
When it comes after you
Will you survive
America
When it comes after you
When it comes after you
When it comes after you
When it comes after you
