She represents Strength in the flesh She Represents Strength in mind.   She is an inspiration to us all - She is one of a kind   Beauty on the inside Beauty that cant be contained Beauty that shines as bright as the sun Beauty that’s un-ascertained   Robbing her of who she is is like Robbing the earth of the sun Taken so long for realization Her time has finally Come!   Now's her chance to rise up and take her turn As partner As equal As inspiration   All the barriers of the past we will burn, We must make today A day of Appreciation   So many years it has taken Man has been so sadly mistaken Today we say goodbye to the past It Reeks Today we seek true equality   There’s only one thing left to say SHE REPRESENTS!!!

My Scene 02:17
Better late than never Even better never late Reach out to your brothers Stop the hate that keeps us separate Old school is what I am Bearing many scars The scene has come so far Energy is what we need Love for what we got Is the seed to be planted Never take for Granted What We’ve Fought For!   In the Southeast Never seen peace Prejudice in the flesh - this was a mess Causing much distress - I profess Many fought and died Many mothers have cried Many victims of the Unseen war Never forget what we’ve fought for Never Forget   When were split apart click to sect We allow the roots of prejudice to infect Us vs. Them It’s a parody It’s insanity Unique-quity is our strength and should be praised- not hazed Old School Mother Fuckers like me fought and died for a cause No Need for applause Just never forget Never disrespect Never take for granted What We’ve Fought For   My Scene Is what we fought for My Scene

Injustice reigns supreme In a World with False Priorities Will we ever learn? Will we ever see?   Injustice Reigns Supreme In a World with False Priorities.   Entertainment, pertinent for a world that can’t look at itself. Poverty, and Money’s reality, A Byproduct of wealth With alarming stealth the leftover tasks Of generations past, Has become a vast ordeal Will we deal with it? Or will our children inherit it?   It remains to be seen Injustice Reigns supreme In a World with False Priorities   Environment, industry and government Don’t mix We’re in a fix We’ve cracked the base of life The reefs, the forests, the frogs Who’s the next to go? Will we ever know? Will we ever see? Injustice Reigns supreme In a World with False Priorities   As a people, were brilliant and bright But I’m shocked at our lack of sight Drop pebble in a pond and watch the ripples touch the other side Thus, is life, a web of our energy We create this reality And affect everything you see Everything we dream Can Be But remember, Injustice reigns supreme   Will we ever see?

Unity 03:14
Look into yourself, Find the root Racist or not, The point is moot Because the world will crumble Unless we can become Humble… Enough to, Cast off color, Cast off culture, Unlearn racist propaganda So we can Accept others as given And Turn this hell into our heaven   Drive and desire may be different, But the blood in our veins is not The power of respect and honesty Will conquer, Where Bullshit will not   You know the day of disinterest is OVER We can’t afford not to Care The power of peace has been withheld too long We must all prepare   Cause it’s Our generations turn And all you racist mother fuckers will BURN The power of peace cannot be felt Until the seed of the fascists has been killed   You know, We’re tired of being beaten down, For having an open mind No longer will innocents Suffering Be a sign, Of the Times   All the choices that we make All the liberties that we take We’ve got to break the old Patterns of HATE   We’ve got to keep them in the past Can’t allow them, To last   Then maybe at last We can bring our Highest Truth to pass The rights of others equal to our own rights Maybe we can bring man Out of this plight But we’ve got to be willing to FIGHT For justice, for Peace, for UNITY

Our Time 02:40
This is our time, What will we do This is our World It’s up to me and YOU   To take the steps our fathers have only dreamed To bring this world out of fire before were burned It’s only taken forever to realize there’s something wrong Anger, hatred, greed Have ruled for so long   The tools for change lie in our hearts and in our minds When you hear these words, It will be a sign To take our thoughts and focus on unity we must achieve The togetherness our hearts long for   A world where everyone has enough No static, no tension, no suffering   No more injustice We can do this if we focus   This is our time, What will we do? This is our world It’s up to me and YOU   Our thoughts are creative, Our Thoughts are powerful United for a common goal A greater good for everyone When you hear these words we have begun We will overcome Negativity and Hatred Which has held us down!   This is our time We will OVERCOME!

Question 04:06
Why must it be this way?   I hope and pray for the day when suffering sees its end, When we all realize the connection and stop moving in different directions   When Love, Joy and Highest truth replace Anger, greed and hatreds face   One day it will happen when we have the guts to ask Why? Why must it be this way? Why? Can you hear me? Answer me!   For few to have much many must have little Violence breeds violence and peace is belittled Desensitized dehumanized we’ve become We’re numb to the sickness that surrounds us Self-interest replace common good When will we ask When can we ask Why? Why must it be this way? Why? Can you hear me? Answer me!   I hope and pray for the day when suffering sees its end, When we all realize the connection and stop moving in different directions When Love, Joy and Highest truth replace Anger, greed and hatreds face   One day it will happen when we have the GUTS to ask Why? I ask myself Why? I ask myself Why?   For few to have much, many must have little Violence breeds violence and peace is belittled Desensitized, dehumanized we’ve become We’re numb to the sickness that surrounds us Self-interest replace common good When will we ask? When should we ask? Why!   Why! Must! It! Be this Way

What If I'm Not (free) 02:48
What if I’m not like you? What are you going to do? What if I’m not like you? You’ve got a problem with me? Ive got a problem with you!   Can you relate to me? Will you alienate me? Do you hate me for how I choose to live?   Are you the judge and the jury? Will you decide what’s right Will you respect my choices or are we going to fight   What if I’m Straight Edge, But some of my friends are not? Have I fallen from grace? Will you try to bust my face? What if not Christian? What if I’m not white Are you the judge and jury will you decide what’s right   Like it or not our cultures must find a way to co-exist. You cant force your morals on others with your fucking fists.   We must come together, Once and for all! We must accept each other, And barriers will fall.   Are you the judge and jury will you decide what’s right Will you respect my choices? Or, are we going to fight?   What if I disagree? Is it up to you to make up my mind? What if I offer my hand? Will you try to take my life What if I’m disabled? Now is your hatred enabled? What if I’m overweight? Do I now deserve your hate?   We must come together! Once and for all We must accept each other, And barriers will fall.
