Lyrics

I Think
What?s the deal about coppin paper to eat bread
We reaching out to the majors leavin the indie dead
I only need to speak to a couple of million heads
Too many people wont look through everything that?s said
And ask who said it, why?d they say it, what?s it mean to me?
Looks like a different day but a familiar scene to me
Poverty still exists, the drama still persists, pressure still building makin the people pump they fist
The ghetto?s mad as hell, all their children?s in jail
And the ones left have to anny up and post bail
Most of em black mail, convicted drug sales
But wont nobody admit they were set up to fail
And I?ve then seen it all, the pain when soldiers fall
The blame has got to get lifted up off our shoulders ya?ll
In a world where your meals and deals get served raw
The children of hard times walk without a flaw

(Chorus)
When I think of all the things that I really wanna do in life
And I think of all the people that I got to go through with life
And I think of all of the children that?s growin? up
Are they growin up?
(Verse 2)
Mama?s in prison too
But she brings her jail cell with her when she visits you
Cause it?s all in her heart
And what she?s been through alone makes her path true
That?s why she knows what to do when the days are dark
So I send love to her, that?s the only thing that moves her
Soothes her even in death wont make you lose her
Her way affects the world
So when she walks and talk and shares her thoughts
You bless that girl
Cause girls become girlfriends, girlfriends become mothers
And many become wives
But first their all daughters look at what they taught us witnessed so many slaughters
And birthed so many lives
Be a shame if we ignore our essence
By the time we get from the womb to the tomb
I hope we learn that lesson
So this is my confession
Can we Usher in respect for them when we get next to them
Without second guessin? men?
(chorus)
Verse 3
Up at the crack of dawn to watch the sunrise I watch my son rise
Realize that when I look into his there?s no surprise
Knowin GOD secures the family ties
No matter the size or who may wish for it?s demise
For the princess and prince loyalty royalty
Tense situation when you?re livin? in a nation
Where the devastation don?t affect you as much as temptation
Who are we racin? more important what are we chasin??
Drugs money and power, maybe it?s just the hour
Long enough to build a strong enough tower
Not to be devoured by a force on a course of division
Spiritual incision creating a personal prison
For us to cry in, that?s why we rush dyin?
Lust for lyin designin? and keeping us from Zion
Steadily trying to bring my flesh under subjection
Feelin rejection failing society?s inspection
Why are they searchin, enemies lurkin? constantly perpin?
Why ain?t we workin? where we?re hurtin? one thing?s for certain
Healin? don?t come without the feelin?, we should be buildin?
Somebody help us save these children.
