Black Child, Where Are You
Where are the Black children of today?
being murdered and raped
what an awful price to pay.
Are you in school trying to be educated?
or a gang banger making other peoples
life complicated.
Do you listen to what your parents say?
or letting all the boys have their way.
Do you cooperate with the men in blue?
or let them make a fool out of you.
Do you care about the problems of today?
or killing your kind
and jacking the house with
the local D.J.
Put on your thinking caps, get on the ball
don't let life pass you in the mall.
