I'm Just Saying

Elvis was the King of Rock
Michael the legend was the King of Pop
both are gone now cause they popped to much
there are drugs that sing
there are drugs that ring
there are drugs to cover over everything
you can get them at the local mart
or in the hood
but that's not to smart
  Sports was rocking and the bats were popping
ride the wheels when they were really hopping
in the ring we know there's no mopping
to a special place where they go shopping

Reverend Sharpton he's here and he's there
come to think there might be one everywhere
I wonder how much they all even care
I ain't saying much about him I swear
we tend to celebrate nominations and certification
with a lot of gratification
as we masticate with articulate when colors run true
in a country
where natives are few
the mixing bowl is what it's called
there should be justice and freedom for all
  Our government spends money like a king with style
but the ones that need it the most have to wait awhile
you wonder who keeps an eye on the tab
when the money that moves is so sleekly grabbed
satisfaction seems the attraction and bears no reaction
so vote for me and you might gain a fraction
i'm just saying

People say and talk a lot about God
and love Jesus all the way to their pod
one will always hear that the end is near
but I believe that God will one day make it clear
  To take a life is never right
people do so cause they think they might
no matter what book you choose to read
murder and suicide is not part of the deed
  Lawmen seem to always put their life on the line
but it seems they don't like to do it all the time
many times they become part of the crime
or they bully someone until they whine
they keep the piece or hold the lease
and make the record sound oh so sweet
i'm just saying

They go out of their way to be a friend
but when shit hits the fan they tend to bend
they'll help dig the hole to toss you in
so they can take your place to that end
  You see them out the hood and wonder why
on the outside looking in sometimes you try
they walk and they talk and they dress so very different
their rhythm may be off but their steps are so efficient
sometimes they approach you to converse
so tight and so uneasy it could be a curse
maybe they just try to hard to keep the worse
if you come close to matching skin type
you might get an insight
but your bonding may get slighted
when careers are sometimes blighted
and they shadow your behind with muttered sight
we have a problem here that's black and white
but I like gray cause it seems to fight
combine the cultures and it can be so nice
our time here is short so lets do it right
i'm just saying

Men engage women with a hoot
but women like men with power to boot
or a bad ass with a missing tooth
and sometimes they even learn to shoot
so they can clean up and carry the loot
guys seem to gravitate to women that slink
and women usually engage them with a wink
catch the eye to bed that's the link
use them and roost them and lose them
then clean up the stink
and jot down the memory there by the sink
  Cloning seems to be the word today
test tube is going down in fray
why chance it on sperm that can actually stray
one can play God and have their own way
it's done with plants
it's done with animals
if it's done with humans who's to say
take a man and make a woman
take a woman and make a man
go half way there and leave the other
use body parts to fix one another
be happy with yourself and lets all pray
i'm just saying

Boys with boys and girls with girls
some that fall in between and are known to swirl
youth growing up sometimes take a twirl
not much one can do but accept their will
cause it's how they're born into this world
  In the boys room they talk a lot about what they got
how they would do each other if they got the shot
hooded or cut it doesn't matter if you get to fuck
small or big she only cares that you make her jig
the tongue is key to satisfaction and multi-reaction
use it well and you'll get some traction
it can work both ways with much attraction
  They can win you over with their attention
but they seem to have other intentions
with gifts that bring on not to mention
they pin you down with their infection
don't get me wrong it's a bad situation
but maybe they need better connections and communication
i'm just saying

Money and greed make our world go round
they take what you got without making a sound
wake up to late and you've almost drowned
you hope and you pray that you can make the rounds
you have no one to blame when the snake's in town
  You plainly see that humanity is complicated
war and peace seem fabricated
wealth and power are overrated
the hungry and poor are underrated
the fate of our world is mitigated
when the flow of money is instigated
to just ones call that is irrigated
and we look to heaven for the answer to all
but when there's no return we slip and we fall
why is black always in trouble
why is white always  in a bubble
we drink we smoke we pollute the air
we hurt we slay we terminate the sayer
who do we blame why do we care
whom do we trust when trust we must
is wrong right or is right wrong
hey
