	Story Behind the Song Born 1887, Marcus Garvey had great entrepreneurial drive. He came to the U.S. in 1916 and founded the UNIA (Universal Negro Improvement Association) in 1917. Garvey preached the redemption of Black people by repatriation to Africa. He soon published a newspaper in New York called The Negro Cry which took as its motto Garvey's Black nationalist rallying cry.... "One God, One Aim, One Destiny." Lyrics MARCUS MOSIAH GARVEY GONE DOWN IN BLACK HISTORY MARCUS MOSIAH GARVEY GONE DOWN IN BLACK HISTORY Born in the parish of St. Anns Bay In the beautiful hills of "J-A" Humble beginnings he came from But what a man he did become Leaving Jamaica he came state side Inspiring people with Black pride New York, Chicago, and St Louis Spoke to the heart when he spoke to us -CHORUS- Some say he's a prophet Some say he's a hero Some say he's a con man Which Marcus do you know Marcus say "Lift up thyself Blackman To Ethiopia our Father's land" Forming one Black Nation Living without confrontation Repatriation is a must Oppression, repression, we've had enough So get up, get out of Babylon It's in Africa we do belong -CHORUS- Some say he's a prophet Some say he's a hero Some say he's a con man Which Marcus do you know Marcus Garvey prophecy "One God, one aim, one destiny" With visions of Africa we stay alive On the Black Star Liner we will arrive Look to Africa and you will see Where a Blackman will be crowned king The fulfillment of this prophecy Is in the person of Haile Selassie
