Understand Black Man

Understand Black Man
Do you have a strategy? 
Do you have a plan?
To move forward
And be the best you can

From creation he plant us
Freedom and liberty he grant us
So why failure to succeed?
Confusion became the creed

Life's not a wishing well
When you start to read
When you learn to spell
Because instructions are given
You must comprehend
To function well

So play your part
Education a start
And the glory will follow
Do your researches
And don't believe the lies
You swallow, in churches

How we deal with it
Is try a new start
Casting out negatives
From a poisoned heart
Engage again
Feel your brothers pain
Learn to unite
Cut out the cuss cuss
Cut out the fight
Its not glorious , its not pleasing
In the fathers sight

Now get on your journey
Build your master plan
Make an effort
Give a helping hand

Life becomes a mystery
But if you write your own history
The past will be recorded 
But let the children listen

Because as we plant the seed
Humanity at war yet still in need
And if you want a good harvest
Focus on a the plan
And do a good deed
