Heavy On My Mind Thoughts In Motion

Brother Listen to me! There is something I must say To clear the air of any Uncertainty that may or may not Come between us But first, you must listen To what I am about to What I must say. I have been hurt!!!! Not once, Not twice, But many times over And over again Over the same B.S.--- Nothing! Nothing lost And certainly Nothing gain But time is standing still, Motionless Like a non-moving clock time Where there is movement at all. Fighting. For what ??? Nothing Fighting over nothing A piece of green paper And a little white substance That's controlling your every moment Night and day. Stupid fighting over Nothing While wasting time over Nothing! While children go hungry, While mothers lose their children, While young black men die in the streets, While politics are usual You fight over Nothing! Nothing lost Nothing gained. Lost In a world that's endless With a beginning And yet there is no end. Women selling their bodies For a green piece of paper While men make dirty deals While others get one meal And no three squares a day Struggling Striving Everyday Every moment there is there is time And where time is no more. I got something on my mind To say not what anyone may think it's on my mind to say because it was heavy on my mind.
