Look at the plight of our community...something is wrong
Our babies are making babies while our fathers are gone
No one bothers to care! Can't you see our despair
The youth are begging us for knowledge but we have none to share
There...it's been said, but nothing is done
When we keep blaming the blameless how can the battle be won?
"Oh, it's the white man's fault!" We must be out of our minds
The biggest form of racism is "Black on Black Crime"
We've destroyed our surroundings by selling our souls
Casting votes for the devil when we visit the polls
Lord knows there's a problem...but can our people be saved
Before we're wiped off the map by the HIV AIDS?
We've gotta pray...our morals have reached an all time low
Symbols of sex are marketed everywhere that we go
Our boys have chosen drug dealing as their careers
And our girls are being raped by their close relatives
How can we live on and go on and turn our heads
And close our eyes to the images our children are fed
Rap music uses it's glamour to confuse us
And our youth are using it...we let 'em...we're losing it
Moving away from principles that God put in place
Affirmative action is not the answer, God uses FAITH
Spare the rod, spoil the child--this is one we should weigh
But we choose to spoil the child over spoiling it's day
You Christians are cowards, powerless, weak!
Stop hiding inside your homes and take a walk on the streets
King's dream has gone to sleep...our pastors won't teach
Trading soft sermons for dollars while our souls are decieved
Who's gonna cry out when that little girl hurts
Ashamed to tell the world that her father is her first
Who's gonna gcry out for the hopeless dope fiends
Whose dreams are pipe dreams in the pipes that they steam
Who's gonna cry out for that young man in pain
Who just hasn't been the same since his dad went away
Who's gonna cry out for that girl who got played
Over and over by sorry men and then turned gay
Who's gonna cry out for the kids with terrible fates
Innocent souls born with the HIV AIDS
Who's gonna cry out for that man in a shell
Got him some time and then he got raped in his cell
Will you cry out for this nation of ours
Flooded with sin from years of immorality's showers
Will you cry out for the black community
Got drugs! Got violence! But we lack unity
We all complain and are quick to point the blame
It's not the president it's the residents that cause the pain
But for those who know no better and know no way out
Where's the answer? Where's the prayer? Who's gonna cry out?
