Listen Up
Sex, drugs, violence gambling and prostitution
Challenges we now face displays restitution
Don’t ignore the fact of reality, it’s real not an illusion
Wherever there is life, there is pain, I have come to this conclusion
Career, Money, Education, and Power
We’re slowly diminishing and deteriorating by the hour
Racism has been known to put us through the ringer
Don’t be pulled, twisted, and sucked in the that crap on Jerry Springer
Incest, deception, heartbreak, rejection
Get on your knees, give God a Confession
Iraq and Iran
To late to take a stand
You know its part of the plan
We’re being destroyed by man
Poverty, hatred and brutality
Trying to maintain a composed mentality
It’s a slap in the face, but reality
Drug, War, Gangs and homosexuality
What we need is a massive antidote
To stop people from drinking, smoking, and gambling at the boat
A confused and misguided United States
Whom our enemies love to hate
Though they call this the freedom place
Is the truth but a slap in the face
It’s a known fact that more men are in jail than in school
Oh no, this is not etiquette, tasteful, or cool
They are put in a place where the funding is easy
But not funded for Education, which I find displeasing
Their life is mapped out tucked away in a cell
They are full of horror stories of the living hell
Mind blowing, mind boggling, but it’s a known fact
They can’t get their past, present, or their future back
Black man stand up and state your claim
Don’t give in to the possibilities of wanting life’s fame
To get there you sell drugs, steal, rape and rob us of our glory
You can have a good life if you just change your story
And the ending will be pending of a world fill with glory
Put on a suit and tie and hold your head up high
And be faithful and grateful till the day you die
Stand by your mate, raise your family and respect everyone you bestow
You’ll be known as a good man with the love that your show
Don’t be clinching, forget about the lynching
Go on with life if you can
And forever, you’ll endeavor as a promising black man
Hate crime excursions
Sexual perversion
Gang leaders slowing merging
Let’s handle our business, its urgent
Arabs, Asians, Europeans and Chinese
They’re building up their business and quietly suffering on our knees
Let’s face the fact and realize
More and more companies will downsize
It’s getting harder and harder to survive
Maintaining sanity to stay alive
I’m sure we’re all waiting to exhale
Let’s not get discouraged or we’ll fail
It’s our duty lets not expel
All of God’s children is catching hell
I got Issues
Hey girl sit down got something to tell you, for this you’ll need a stiff drink and some tissue.
I need to get this off of my chest.
