Love, seeking you.
It just got to find just where you at?

Love is seeking you.
This is not fiction but facts.

For so long you have kept to yourself.
While watching others embracing it.
But now that you warming up to it.

We know.
Yes, we know that love is seeking you.
It just got to find just where you at?

Open up
Open up
Cause love is seeking you.

Open up.
Open up.

Turn around and you will see.
Love is where it should be?

If you never been in my shoes?
Then don't tell me to shut up and play.
Be real, be honest this easy for you to say.

Have you ever witness your people served through the back door?
Have you been denied service at the counter mainly turned away because of your color?


If you never been in my shoes?
Then keep quiet with your privileged views.
Cause you never ever been in my people's shoes.
So this easy to say be quiet and play.

Have you been called "boy" when obviously you are a man?
Have you ever?
Have you been killed because of a twisted opinion of looking at another?

Has the political establishment been harder on your race?
Or protect you because of the control of power.
Many convicted and died and survive because of various lies.

So what pain been inflicted upon you?

I saw
I seen
I know
I just need to explore it a little more

I can
I did
I am ahead
Then many that didn't predict it.

Now, look at me and my success.
I am at my greatness

Yes, I am blessed.
To God be the glory he deserves all the praise.

With a mother's heart, you learn ways to love.
With a mother's heart, you learn the meaning of giving.
When you have less most mothers give more?

And ask for nothing in return.

With a mother's heart, it's a great chance you know the love of God.
With a mother's love, you learn that mainly more like her.
She is the child's greatest protector.

So watch how you treat her?

We have had a Duke.
A count and a Queen, King and yes, a Prince.
All musical royalties.

We have had created scientists and doctors although many barely or rarely know of them.
Until they venture out on their own to know more.

Say Charles Drew too many within his own race.
And you see a lost face.

We have had a Huff, a Gamble, and a Gordy too.
Record labels owned by ladies too.
There is something wonderful about this brown color hue.

We do go from light to dark.
And witnessed some of the greatest actors to be known.

We have been to space.
When some thought we never reached?
We have been discriminated against for decades and deny even eating seats.
I guess fools forget that money is green.

We have seen a Nation
We have seen the Panthers.
We support protesters too.
Still, question how Black Lives Matter is seen as a hostile group?

Then negative always comes from other owners' news.

Strong, firm, and real.
Strong, firm and feared.
We didn't create that image.
We didn't create that trouble.

But this strong race can conform they fear us.
Although they constantly coping off of us.

We tan.
We take a stand.
They quiet.
Intimidated by their own.
Outnumber any other group running away from home.

We tan.
They seek tan machines out.
We fight.
They let the issue simmer and burn until that situation exposes them.

We motivate with less.
They deny they ever stole from us.
Or created a single problem.

We are strong.
It's in our culture going way back to Africa.

Yes, I---wonder.
About you--I wonder.

If you love me?
I wonder.

As true as many say that I know the words that you gonna say.

I still wonder
About you--I wonder.

Though your eyes have the evidence to the truth.
And your mind speaks the guilty plead.
I still wonder.

And I'm, not the only one to wonder about this.
And if truth be told there isn't anything wrong with asking it.

So yes I--wonder
About us--I wonder
