So many trips back_andforth to
the cemetery.
9{ptyiving a thought that one
day soon you tvilC also he
buried.
'Blach.on bCacfcrime in every
state.
.Undyou are the race that most
. others hate.
- It really makes many of us feel
ashamed.
(But all of you are not to blame.
So think^about it, live and let
live.
Because you my brother have so
much to give.
Tor a people who have so much
pain, trials and suffers.
It only seems natural that we
love one another.
Open up your eyes and your
mind.
Undlet's stop destroying our
own kind.
fou are brothers, fathers, hus
bands and sons.
So let's stop the killings, get rid
of the guns.
TO THE •BLUCK.TTMjlLE
mbw many times over and over
we have been.
dlere we go bacfto the cemetery
once again.
It seems that 's all we always
do.
The time has come to start
The young black_male is killing
and being killed.
Are we going to sit and just be
stdl?
They are our brothers, fathers,
husbands and sons.
Thinfiwhat it would be like if
we didn't have none!
TUe gotta take control of those
that you are ours.
And pray for help from the
higher power.
The violence has gotten far out
of hand.
'We must do something to save
the blackman.
This is no time to stand behind.
So step in front and draw the
line.
fou are daughters, mothers, sis
ters and wives.
