To socially advance, instead of sewin' some pants

Eh, but we'll never be truly free
Until those in bondage have the same rights as you and me
You and I, do or die, wait till I sally in on a stallion
With the first black battalion
Have another

Shot!
I don't dive and I don't lose.
We are in a daily battle for our lives. I see no value in dwelling on that.
