Pursuit of justice and Gold Giving it all away Saying words with purpose A search for justice A black man standing on the bus Righteous indignity Look at me Is this what it means to be free Is this pursuit of happy Or is this life just ****** Look at me And what do you see Do you see a color or do you see a name? Or just someone to blame Do you see a man with hope Or do you see a man struggling to cope Do you offer a hand or hang a rope Can you love someone like me Or can that never be Look as far as the eye can see People living in misery Why is change so slow Where did decency go Swim against the flow Sometimes it’s hard to let go Which way the wind will blow On this journey I will go It’s keep playing or fold It’s everyone wanting some gold It’s about white power so old It’s about the power you hold Old white and grey hair Controlling markets everywhere You don’t want to share You don’t care This is not fair I’m a man, same as you I have hopes and dreams too I’m the same as you
