Time For a Change
Shantay A Wicklander 1985 (Seattle)
How many times do we gotta see our people in the streets looking for a place to sleep & food to eat. Nobody ever stops they don't even bother they just call the cops but did you ever wonder how they got there.
You point fingers & stare but ain't nobody really care but yet you complaining for the way they living. Take a second and look at life through their eyes maybe than you will see this world ain't as easy as its seems to be. Now let me make it a little more clearer half of you probably never had to suffer.
Victims of circumstances it's time for us to all start making changes.
All it takes is one voice one person to remain strong for those of less fortune.
How many times do we gotta see our people in the streets looking for a place to sleep & food to eat. Nobody ever stops they don't even bother they just call the cops but did you ever wonder how they got there.
