Unite
doesnt matter if your
red,yellow
brown,black or white
because
We all have got to Unite
isms,schizms,prizms
distorting the light
dividing us all
bringing with it
eternal night
there is something
I want you to know
we still have the right
to life, freedom and love
and to fight for all we hold dear
when push comes to shove
they are teaching our kids
how they should be shod
teaching them there is no God
teaching them
evolution instead
cell phones and video games
is all that
fill their heads
walking tv's is all
that I can see
walking tv's is all these many
will ever be
ebonics,electronics,supersonics
gym clothes and sports wear
what is all that stuff
they have in their hair
colored contacts cover the eyes
but cant cover the lies
we have all been told
taking another call
been put on hold
disrespect
meaningless huggs
pants worn down to the knees
backward hats
hoodrats
covered in tats
nothing but thugs
dont you see
shaved heads
done with razors
cops shooting grandma with a taser
mindless yuppies
still watching frasier
bad is good
and
good is bad
single moms
and
deadbeat dads
no force
divorce
money is all
people care about
dont all this crap
make you wanna shout
bankruptsies
forclosures
money schemes
lost dreams
children cry
and women scream
what will tomorrow bring
not sure I want
to know
and
when the levee breaks
there wont be anyone
to stop the flow
this is why we must make a stand
we all have to do what is right
this is what we all must do
we all must unite
