Some folks got nothing but time on their hands.
To speak of non-revolution and of empty demands.
Worried about who is getting credit for this and that.
Don't know the difference between a Dog and a Cat.
Page after page of unrelenting rage, nothing to give in
the final stage.
So much time for spewing venom.
Make me thing they got nothing good in 'em!
Some folks think they have all the answers at 25 and 30,
haven't even got their hands dirty.
Living the legacy of Martin and Malcolm.
The year 2000 slaves , forgetting they walk on the road we
did pave.
Sitting in cyber demanding a voice, when it is the blood of
the martyred that gave them a choice.
Day after day we are in Spiritual warfare.
And care if you dare, cause these non-revolutionist will
take you there.
Some folks give themselves proud names and posture, claiming
to have all the answers...showboats and mind-limbo dancers.
Swaying to their own beat, never really moving their feet, sitting
in high moral judgement.
The "Truth" will be revealed in time, and it won't be man, it will
be Heaven sent.
Taking the time to recognize greatness that came before us.
Your's and my definition of JUST-US!
"We fight not against flesh and blood ..." says the good book.
Take that mote out your eye and have a real good look.
Some folks have all day to sit and to cypher, non-revolutionary
rhetoric and witty mindless banter.
Ya sniffin on something or is it what's in your decanter?
Sad how we can't seem to get together these days, with out
someone taking shnit all the way!
Peace will come when we know what to do with it.
That's not a lot, but I know a little bit...
Doubting the progress of a movement that made you.
Sad cause the elders can see right through you.
Making your way to the altar of self righteousness...
When the time comes can you even
pass the test?
Some folks can talk til the cows come home, and you know
what a dogs does when you give him a bone!
Critical thinking is at an all time low.
They don't know a thing they just think that they know.
A true mark of wisdom is knowing what you don't know!
Hoping that in time they will open their narrow minds and
really grow.
So I pray for them all the "Stuck on stupid and can't get off dumb"!
I don't know everything but I sure know some.
I came from a heritage that put up and didn't shut up.
Were way makers and earth shakers and made waves to carry
us safely to the next rung.
Some folks think that knowing some basic facts gives them license
to put other's off tracks.
Disrespecting , neighborhood neglecting, soul rejecting mouth pieces
with no real kingdom to reign.
So they reinvent themselves with a Positive name...
SOME
FOLKS...are just a "LOST CAUSE"
