Not Guilty Poem by Okoemu Okoemu Okoemu

The crime you want to charge I-man for
It's not possible and him no guilty
The crime you want to charge I-man for
It's not possible and him no guilty

He's been following
All these great foreigners footsteps
He's been following
All these great foreigners footsteps

Foreigners like
Honourable Marcus Mosiah Garvey
Foreigners like
Honourable Mr. Malcom X
Foreigners like
Honourable Martin Luther King

Its they who paved the way for I and I
So I and I could be recognized

Jah send them, Jah send them
Jah send them, Jah send them
Jah send them, Jah send them
Jah send them, Jah send them

Marcus Garvey was a freedom frighter, from Jamaica
And Malcom X was the American freedom fighter
Martin Luther King, he was a freedom fighter
And you say they were all great great men

They criticize the man's philosophy
But they should remember, he sets an example
The Igbo, Ibibio and Delta Igbo - Kanu original

Some people want you to be ignorant
And lack of speech and live in fear
He is only following
All these great foreigners footsteps
The first voices of his people

Jah send them, Jah send them
Jah send them, Jah send them

The crime you want to charge I-man for
It's not possible and him no guilty

Oh no, no, Mr. and Ms jury
Use your discretion, his is not guilty

-Okoemu Okoemu Okoemu
