This is a song of the Black Panther Party for Self Defense, based on the BPP slogan "Move on over or we'll move on over you." It was set to the same tune as The Battle Hymn of the Republic/John Brown's Body.

- @thomasl.koehnline5775 | 1 year ago | Since it's not in the description, I just want to mention that these lyrics were written by Len Chandler, a great songwriter from the Greenwich Village scene who toured around with Cordell & Bernice Reagon & the Freedom Singers during the Civil Rights Movement in the '60s & later. This recording is from an appearance he made on Pete Seeger's 1964-65 TV series Rainbow Quest, & is the only recording I've found of Chandler himself performing the song. | Len Chandler died just a few days ago, at the age of 88.
