How did Mandela get the will to surpass the everyday
when injustice had 'em caged and trapped in everyday,
how did Ghandi ever withstand the hunger strikes and all,
didn't do it to gain power or money if I recall, it's the gift,
I guess I'll pass it on, mother thinks it'll lift the stress of Babylon,
mother knows, my mother she suffered blows,
I don't know how we survived such violent episodes,
I was so worried, it hurt to see you bleed,
But as soon as you came out the hospital you gave me sweets yea,
they tried to take you from me, but you still only gave 'em some prayers and sympathy,
Dear Mama, you helped me write this, by showing me to give is priceless

Baby, you understand me now
If sometimes you see that I'm mad
Don't you know no one alive can always be an angel
When everything goes wrong, you see some bad

But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Uh, misunderstood ain't gotta be explained
But you don't understand me so let me explain (heh heh)
Stood in the heat, the flames, the snow
Please slow down hurricane
The wind blow, my dreads swing

He had hair like wool, like Wayne (huh)
Dropping ashes in the bible
I shake em out and they fall on the rifle
Scary, hail Mary no tale fairy

All real very, extraordinary
Perry Mason facing, the barrel if he tattle
My god is my judge, no gown no gavel
Uh, I'm a rebel, time to battle
Now or never, I would never, in the ever
Fucking fantastic, fuck if you agree
I'm bright but I don't give a fuck if you see me
