Thought you wanted to know
we talk of human rights
is it just hype
or do they sometimes apply
is it "why ask why"
since when is it wrong to be real
thought you wanted to know
what part of the game is that
don't we want freedom of speech
don't we want truth
don't we want privacy without
peering leering eyes
or do we want lies
let me know
I thought we stood for good
stood for togetherness
I don't want to be a part
of turning on each other
too much black on black crime
as it is
how much truth is too much truth
I mean you gotta let me know
don't want to waste nobody's time
don't want to waste mine
I been doin' this thang
wanting to bring folks together
for the greater good
where you been
or is that a new exclusive club
in the making
spoils for the taking
thought you wanted to know
