I wish that just for one second I could stop loving black folks so much
Then I'd be able to give you the beatdown you so much richly deserve
Time after time I keep giving you another chance because we are one
And everytime you make me want to fight you like you're the enemy
Because your actions be making me think you're against us not for us
Why are you always acting like it will kill you to do that which is right
Everytime I try to uplift us, there you are setting us back a generation
One of these days you are going to be looking for me to get you out
But I will have finally learned to stop feeling your problems soul deep
And there'll be nothing you can say because I gave you my very best
So when it happens please remeber you started burning this bridge


Nobody gets under my skin like a brother or sister who just won't do right
 
even those who are wrongdoers will cross ova , we all at some point get tired but hold on
don't give up or in to the weak and lost just set the path and leave a guide and keep stride
toward yourself goals and freedom soon it will catch on .....
 
ALL ABOARD

Steam as a source of power can propel GREAT engines.
