If you were my brother's keeper
Will you be there in times of need?
Or will you let our golden friendship
Be destroyed by jealousy, envy and greed?

If you were my brother's keeper
Would you always help me out?
Or would you take me to the green
when I didn't set it out?

If you were my brother's keeper
Would you put me right on track?
Lay down your life in times of need?
Would you always have my back?

If you were my brother's keeper
Would you let anything come between us?
Talk to me behind my back?
Would I ever lose your trust?

If you were my brother's keeper
Would you fight me over a girl?
Would you disrespect my family?
Would you divulge my secret pearl?
But I know you're my keeper
Because we have a common goal
Uplift is important and
FRIENDSHIP IS ESSENTIAL TO THE SOUL

I know you're my keeper
And our family is large and strong,
Knowledge and manhood is our infrastructure and
"Omega Dear" is our song

I know you are my keeper
And our bind is no fascade
You're always willing to die for me,
And our strength comes from God

I know you're my keeper
Proud, concientious, and bold
I know you will never leave me
Because your blood is royal PURPLE and your heart Is made of old
GOLD!

He who knows not, and KNOWS that he knows not, is a child, teach him.

He who KNOWS NOT, and KNOWS that he KNOWS, is a fool, shun him.

He who KNOWS, and KNOWS NOT that he knows, is asleep, wake him.

He who KNOWS, and KNOWS that he KNOWS, is wise, follow him.

Where does the new MEMBER fall? He falls under a special CATegory:

He who KNOWS NOT, and CARES NOT, that he knows not, is left to fend for himself.

There were 3 friends ....Desire, Determination, & Dedication
They all wished to pledge the q-psi .... the first year they all made line....
but Desire was confused and fell off....
the other 2 pledges could go no further for without "Desire" they had no will
to pledge
the next year all 3 tried again ....
but Determination was weak and though Desire and Dedication tried they
fell off b-cause....
with no Determination they could not proceed....for they could not
persevere
finally the next spring ....all 3 tried once more.... with a rejuvenated
Desire....
and a unrelenting Determination they pledged long and hard....Dedication
however ....stepped off...
Desire and Determination held to the path and completed the process ....
now i could tell u the moral ....but just think.....

Could it be that unique style
The way he can arouse an ear
Could it be his power
That other fraternities fear

Could it be his passion
From the way his story is told
Could it be a simple touch
That turns everything to gold

Or maybe it's the way
He treats me like a queen
Or maybe it's his out-spoken charm
That keeps him in my dreams
Maybe this is something
Others would not understand
A tradition that continues today
The power of the Omega Man.

It's the suave motion in his walk
that you ladies mistook for a twist.
A phenomenal man he is
'cause he's there at your every wish.
It's that diploma or that degree
you mistook for a crack pipe,
erasing the wounds of a bitter history
and adding the soothes of a clean wipe.

Are black males extinct?
In this society that's a lie
'cause in every city in our world
black phenomenal men shall rise.
From Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity
to the brothers of Omega Psi Phi,
from the peace of Phi Beta Sigma
to the canes of Kappa Alpha Psi,
from the campus of Howard University
to the pride of Texas A & M,
from the rugged street of Krenshaw
to the rugged streets of Harlem.

Phenomenal men roam God's green Earth
so ladies look as you wish.
You may cross over to other races
but black is always the main dish.
Phenomenal men are making a comeback,
just you wait and see.
From being the white man's burden
to being a black man with a degree.

It's the broad shoulders on his body
that support a level head.
Extinct? I think not!
Phenomenal men are never dead.
It's the boom in his voice,
the piercing glare in his eyes.
It's the persistent motion of his success
'cause phenominal men are determined to rise.

There's a new stranger in town
that has society on a roll.
Lookout ladies! It's the phenomenal man,
there to help you rise and take control!

From the plantation to the corporation,
phenomenal men show their faces.
From purgatory to the laboratory,
phenomenal men come in all races.
But it's the black phenomenal man
that's triumphing over all.
Rising from the word "colored"
that was printed on the wall.

As God is my witness,
we black men shall prevail.
Making a mighty grand entrance
in which everyone shall hail.
There's a new stranger in town
that has society on a roll.
Stand up and give props to the black phenomenal man,
here to rise and take control.
