It's important to discuss
 A narrow mind a hardened heart
 And this is just the very start

 Frustration gets the best of me
 So I don't speak coherently
 We are taught to go along
 We need to figure out what might be wrong

 You oughta know you can be inches from life
 And never live at all
 You oughta know that pride is our downfall
 There's no need to stand up tall

 No one knows what's going on
 Even those who taught oppression
 Most of which don't realize
 Uneasy smiles and blackened eyes

 Could it be there's something real
 Not always known but you can feel
 The presence of an absolute
 That our lives can't substitute
