I know there must have been a time
when each and everyone one of us felt singled out,
Our voices used to be at a silence
but now they're at a shout.
And I know it wasn't meant for us to survive
the intimidations on plantations
but through our own communication
the grass grew greener on the other side.
With so much pride in being black
that strong women found those tracks,
went from one end to the next
there's no way I'm going back.
Now how would you react to these facts.
Well, on that note
Here's a Message from a friend
I feel a big problem with our people
is lack of communication between us men
and how this effects our women
has us constantly committing sin
I hope one day you send a Message
explaining how this problem can end.
But as for now you're reading mine
because I was giving the time
to combine line for line
to show you the knowledge which I possess
and the chance to express
feelings from chest and mind
combined to form vocals,
words,
a sound to be heard
and my voice at this time is the choice.
Untouchable like the Sun
only those of the same can even get close
Can help empty minds come up with thoughts
Can leave a blind man caught up in illusions.
With a goal of my choosing
unconfusing those now amazed
eyes that were once wandering
now are gazed.
Now listen, we as people
Our sisters, our brothers
Our fathers and mothers
must be prepared for whatever.
Our minds are the locks and knowledge is the key.
You see, that's why I'm friends with many people
of different races
in distant places
there's no line drawn for my knowledge
I'm open for different cases
let's face it
not mistake it
the world was created for us all
so while we're here let's have a ball
help that person up if they fall
What's you're wake up call,
the fact that YOU'RE breathing is not enough?
Just remember to keep your head up!
