Our People

What you see in him is a man living without a cause What he sees in you is a man judging that isn't god You see destruction disperse with ignorance All we see is a people taking what they need to live Just because we populate the ghetto doesn't mean we made it And just because we WANT out doesn't mean we will make it Equal opportunity is handed to only some... And those who don't have that opportunity are considered dumb The media only shows our destruction never our progress You'll see our once proud people in distress But all you need is to Gain a little knowledge Because less men of color are in jail And More are in college But this you will never see If your only source is a TV As people we are rising slowly Its to late to help so stand by proudly Our past is history and our future is a gurentee That our old struggle is over and victory is closer then it seems By William, Mosby
