My deepest thoughts consist of a world filled with equality
walking down the street without a police man stopping me
As time goes by the worlds mind continues to be amputated
stripped of its freedom, something that has been tolerated
For many years, people shedding so many tears
the damage has been done and now we all fear
What we can't see but we know it exists
even tho this world is broken it can be fixed
Take our pride and lift it high
the opressors couldn't even wrap thier head around why we sit and cry
fight back, think ahead and speak up
keep composure but believe me i know your fed up
live your life doing the things you want to do
being happy sometimes it means just being you
Real people do what they want, opressed people do what they can
We are the people that make up this world so lets take a STAND!
Keep Pressing The Oppresors

Her eyes are the window of a soul
Where only the white thoughts spring
And they look, as the eyes of the angels look,
For the good in everything

Her lips can whisper the tenderest words
That weary and worn can hear
Can tell of the dawn of a better morn
Till only the cowards fear

Her hands can lift up the fallen
From an overthrow complete
Can take a soul from the bottom of sin
And lead it to christ's dear feet

And she can walk wherever she will
She walketh never alone
The work she does is the master's
And god gaurds his own
Where the good women at?

i wanna live cause i got so much to offer
i wanna die cause i got nothing to give
i wanna live cause i care about my community
i wanna die cause they dont care about me
i wanna live to change the world
i wanna die cause the world doesnt wanna change
its all a trick, this game we call life
what goes on after it
we believe or have faith in what we think happens after we die
that in itself lets us know if we want to live or die
i wanna live but yet i wanna die
its just that simple but yet complicated
contradiction
whats your choice? what do you decide? the land of the living or the other side?

Strange as it seems no one believed in me but you
if you weren't there for me i dont know what i would do
Our relationship was lost, communication was mal-nutritioned
but as i got older we worked hard to fix it
Struggles was apart of it, your pride wouldn't let us know
you worked hard and u was tired but you didnt let it show
Your guidance was pure and your vision for us to live in prosperity
just knowing what you did is great enough for me
I sit and wonder how can one woman set and accomplish ceertain things
when it seems like they dont even have enough to keep survivng

you did.............you did

to retain all that you did
to maintain all those kids
for every life that you fix
I SAY THANK YOU.
