B.A. Barber - Just Family

We must become
Bigger than we have been
More courageous
Greater in spirit
Larger in outlook
We must become
Members of a new race
Overcoming
Petty prejudice
Owing our
Ultimate allegiance
Not to nations
But to our fellow men
Within the human community
Haile
Selassie
The government
Get stronger
The more the people divided
An with a mind like mines
They'll consider me a tyrant
An enemy
To any negativity provided
Tired of
Watching the news
Knowing that
These niggas lying
They get paid
To keep us stupid
A lack of unity
Renders a revolution useless
Got all
The broke folk
Out here scared
Of each other
Killing each other
When we should
Really help one another
Please don't fall
For the illusion
Politics are the product
Of big Corporate influence
If you
Want it to change
You gotta pay to play
And invest in your community
So we can see the day
Where kids
Dont have to struggle
Like we did
Growing up
In a world
That seem like
It dont give shit
It dont
Make no sense
That we gotta scream
Our lives matter
And public school classrooms
Way to overcrowded
Teachers
Underpaid
Stress increasing
By the day
Making it
Harder
For educators to educate
Just a few
Of the many problems
We gotta face
But if we want
It to change
Then we gotta stay
Together

The most
Difficult
Thing
Is the
Decision to act
The rest
Is merely
Tenacity
The fears
Are paper tigers
You can
Do anything
You decide to do
You can
Act to change
And control your life
And
The procedure
The process
Is its
Own reward
Amelia
Earhart

But
Don't be naive
Cuz aint nothing
Coming easy
Homie please
Believe me
Even if
You went
And prayed
Until your hands start bleeding
Nothing
Would ever happen
Your Faith
Is measured
by action
Once It
Becomes
Repetitious
Then god get it cracking see
Were at our strongest
When we stand as one
We shine a light
Thats brighter than the sun
It really
Ain't nothing
To it
But to do it
So future generations
Can carry on the influence
Thats how a garden
Eventually grows Into a forest
But It takes
A whole lot love and care
For it to flourish
Once it does
The people will
Never be malnourished
Minds bodies and spirits
United with one purpose
Im talking
Bout a true
Universal soul circus
Moving as a unit
Cuz in the end its all worth it
Hey in the
End its all
Worth it
Hey ohana
Lets get
To working
