One Pen

All i need is one pen, one piece of paper just one. To write the pain a deff man can't hear speak what a blind can't see. Uncover the truth and hide the lies we tells as a society. All i need is one pen, one piece of paper just one. Get the word out to the ghetto that there is a better place. We don't have to reach heaven to see it. We killing our brothers and sisters over colors don't make sense. All i need is one pen, one piece of paper just one. To tell my brothers behind bars a strong body has no comparsion to a weak mind. Do time don't let time do you. All i need is one pen, one piece of a paper just one. Send all the women with children a happy day mothers day letter, even if it aint may. All i need is one pen, one piece of paper just one. One shot of that liquor thats infecting my liver but only way ill spill out all these words. Sober thoughts i could only speak intoxicated. One doctor for a liver-transplate if this one shall fail on me. All i need is one pen, one piece of paper just one. One chance to reach for the stars and pull one down. Show the world no task is impossible to accomplish. Stay motivated stay determined no telling what you can achieve. All i need is one pen, one piece of paper just one. One voice one prayer to ask God to forgive you and i for our sins. See none of us is perfect and this world aint either. All i need is one pen, one piece of paper just one. One pen to bleed on that one piece of paper just one so one soul can finally be let free. show others many ways you paint without a brush. All i need is one pen, one piece of paper just one. To read my motivational speech to the men and women serving our country. May i give them strenght to come back home to their love ones. all I need is one pen, one piece of paper just one. One man hating, one woman loving me. One whip no chains im so free. All i need is one pen, one piece of paper just one. Success wouldn't mean much if i couldn't write about it. Nothing in this world is more important than one pen one piece of paper. thats all i need just one.
