I done seen too many deaths and funerals
Revenge, friend against friend fights, the usual
What's so unusual, this ugly scene turns so beautiful
Wails and outcries cry out like musicals
It's the song of life, the dark and light
Single mothers putting hungry kids to bed every night
Pops left us on our own, still a rolling stone
The rejected rock is now the chief cornerstone
They gat me feeling like Job on the job
Stole everything I own and they tell me curse God
And die, but why, they wanna see me crucified
Eye for an eye, black crab genocide
Leaders test me asking me how far I see
I see men like trees, new Pharisees
I see people like me just wanna be free
Unity is the key to unlock your reality
Where can we turn to now
Tell me what direction we should go
Screaming without a sound
Both the wheat and tares will have to grow
We fed up, we let down, only one direction we can go
As the praises go up the blessings come down
Tell me where do we go
Skies the limit, dreams and thoughts are infinite
But wash away with the tide soon as they're imprinted
Limited days and ways trying to make a dime
Here today gone tomorrow it was your time
I said today for you, tomorrow's for me
They tell me what is meant to be will be
Nice guys finish last and believe that's true
Cuz all the girls that I met gave me a reason to
Sorry I'm under the influence that's provided through this music
I'm trying not to lose it, I'm just tired of excuses
Better get your hustle on at an early age
The early bird gets the worm, or meets an early grave
We can't change the world, God didn't do it
We gatta change the minds of the people we influence
My words are the truest, you gatta rewind me
Do it in one take so u can't two time me
Where can we turn to now
Tell me what direction we should go
Screaming without a sound
Both the wheat and tares will have to grow
We fed up, we let down, only one direction we can go
As the praises go up the blessings come down
Tell me where do we go
Repping the fifth category, impacting territory
Houston we have a problem, no worries
Though we play different roles it's the same story
Eye on the prize, give God the glory
For a new day, hooray, you say, you play
Your part, your heart, sparks away the dark
Dive deep from the surface so you can find purpose
Cause some purpose, that their lives ain't worth it
Worthless, like a penny with a hole in it
Soul searching but ain't no soul in it
It's just us, all we need is just us
A manual for freedom and justice
A foreword to the forefathers
We want fourscore and ten, acres, mule and a collar
Blue or white, let's all unite
Make us all color blind to this black vs white
Where can we turn to now
Tell me what direction we should go
Screaming without a sound
Both the wheat and tares will have to grow
We fed up, we let down, only one direction we can go
As the praises go up the blessings come down
Tell me where do we go
