Power To See

spiritual starvation all across the nation
 who will be Moses to this black generation
 who will help the man shot in the street not the pastor or the priest how you say you love god when you dont love the people you see your god is to small to understand me 
iam like a tree tell you about god and not even speak how do you perceive your existence and what you are suppose to be
 living in the crazy world do you know your destiny
 black celebrities' are called evil because they make millions but bill gates who makes trillions is good
 that philosophy is astonishing to make a man hate his brotha where the brotherly love we are suppose to love each other
 if i were blind i could still see truth
 knowing who i am cause i embrace my nappy roots 
such a legacy to carry how do i endure
 cause in my heart i stay pure
