| IS it worth it? I feel like a voice of reason in a deaf society Blind to my signals of reality that I gesture to them While they're numb to the touch of the facts They seem to go the wrong direction As long as they're being unknowingly lead And I try to scream to them to stop But they seem to just step off the edge anyway I pull them from the table slapping sense into them Pointing out the fact that they are just being fattened up Still they rush head on to celebrate some one else's Thanksgiving With my people as the main course I am the one that cares....but I am called the devil Jumping in front them taking all the bullets They look at my bleeding heart, my infected open wounds And instead of helping they tell me I'm “blocking their blessings” I don't know if the fight is still worth it Whether my own people are worth saving Should I still be awake or should I go to sleep too So I lay my head down and close my eyes But I still can fight the need to move as I hear the railroad of prison coming To run my mind over with lies and pock out my eyes from seeing the truth I forget again that I have given up on my own folks Re-entering the losing fight again Because I see now I'm doomed to forever offer a hand When most of us are just looking for another hand out Wake up.........
