Help Our People
D R E A M S
C A N C O M E T R U E
ALL OUR ANSESTORS HAD A DREAM A VISION THAT WE WOULD SEE THERE PAST
NOW WE BRING TO LIFE THERE STORY
THE WAY THE WORLD HAS CHANGED AND EVOLVED IS YET TO BE SEEN
TODAY IS FORGOTTEN
TOMORROW IS UNKNOWN
YESTURDAY BECOMES A MEMORY
THEY SAY LIVE FREE OR DIE
BUT WE ARE CONSTANTLY REMINDED WHY
PRISONS OVERRULED
SCHOOLS UNDERSUPERVISED
POLICE CORRUPTED
HOSPITALS UNDERSTAFFED
CEMETERYS EMPTY...THAT MEANS THERE IS TOO MUCH ANTICIPATION ON UPCOMING
DEATHS TOO MUCH SENSELESS CRIMES AND MURDERS
TEENAGE PREGNANCY DRIVE-BY SHOOTINGS RAPES ARSON
IS THIS HOW ITS SUSPOSED TO BE
BRUTALITY AND DEMOCRACY EQUALING ONE
WHAT ARE WE FIGHTING FOR TO SAVE THEM OVER THERE WHEN OUR OWN PWOPLE
ARE HOMELESS AND HUNGRY WE ARE THE PAST NO LONGER THE FUTURE
WHAT DO OUR KIDS HAVE TO LOOK FORWARD TO
