I've walked in the path of my Ancestors

The Path that they have made is plain and clear

Along with the struggle of keeping the College afloat

Trying to close it down with all kinds of accusations

This Historical Black College of Mine

I stand to pass the test of time

I've walked in the path of my Ancestors

Focused on a better Future

For all diverse Cultures

With all different skin tones

This Historical Black College of Mine

I stand to pass the test of time

I've walked in the path of my Ancestors

Threading the water as it is released

With each new semester

Each new Professor puts their own new wave out

This Historical Black College of Mine

I stand to pass the test of time

I've walked in the path of my Ancestors

I served my time

And worked along the way

Keeping up with my child and as well as my studies

This Historical Black College of Mine

I stand to pass the test of time

I never thought of the day that I could say

I walked in the path of my Ancestors

I got my papers

I graduated

At this Historical Black College of Mine

Langston University

Still stands the test of time.

Do you think making it so there are only two ways in and out of campus was a good idea?
