No

Be a good example… Don’t you know what that means? I munch on my apple Didn’t you hear me? Eat your green beans! You’re stuck in place You say “no”… Stop denying it so And I say “yes” But, you can make progress You’re black White is what you lack AND I’M WHITE Black is revealed in the light You’re wrong and not feeling right I’m floating on Cloud 7, much like a kid’s kite I push forward You go backward Something tells me You said “no” to my love Do you see the tears I shed, roll down my eyes Like a rock, rolling down the Kerfly Hills Instead of the truth, I witness your cruel lies I didn’t mean to overdose on those pills You say “you shouldn’t have done that”… And I say “well, it’s too late – what’s done has been done” You’re black AND I’M WHITE You’re wrong and not feeling right And I’m right and doing alright I push forward You go backward Something tells me You said “no” to my love Unleash your creativity Unravel your heart’s desire and put out the fire-envy Shower upon me your relief I’ve lost a great part of me You cannot see the pain you put upon me… If only you could see…me...blossom pleasantly… You say “I want to see you grow, but I don’t know”… And I say “Don’t be uncertain. I’m still growing right before your eyes” You’re black AND I’M WHITE You’re wrong and not feeling right And I’m right and doing alright I push forward You go backward Something tells me You said “no” to my love You’re not a foe – let’s backtrack But a friend that got off track You drift away…I see your spirits sway The auras that shape your every being has gone astray You ask “What colors are my auras, handsome?”… And I say “No – I can’t tell you…hun…” “And why not?” “Because…I just can’t.” I think I can…I think I can… I don’t think I can’t…I don’t think I can’t… Be positive… Don’t be negative… You’re black AND I’M WHITE You’re wrong and not feeling right And I’m right and doing alright I push forward You go backward Something tells me You said “no” to my love I’m free in space I’m in disbelief… Shed relief upon my grief I reduce to ash… Guilty for the wrong I’ve done to earn this cash In captivity and spell-bound by deception Drenched in pride and depression Retrace our steps and receive God’s vast grace Keep telling yourself “you’re stronger than you realize, you’re not alone and you’re not a failure or a total disgrace!” You just got to keep pace with the others’ who are dying to outrun us in this difficult race and I’ve sweated it for so long…until I realized that I have the gift of a runner – to endure till the end, despite the obstacles, getting thrown at me from every angle…the crowd cheers for us to run the extra mile and we’re passing this test due to trying our very best…let God do the rest and rest on my shoulders for the time being…I would never, ever leave you without a trace…trace…race…ace…ce…e… … .. .
