    FIRST PLACE

    Physical freedom,

    Mental bondage.

    But yes, the African-American is free

    Free to dream, free to live life

    Free to ponder the important American things.

    No more slavery

    I am free, you understand

    No more slavery

    I am free, but can you give me a hand?

    With

    The American dream

    I can see it afar off

    Sometimes even think I can touch it.

    Most elusive it is really

    But all my efforts I will muster

    To find

    What they say I can have

    What they say I can achieve

    But how can I do it

    when my life is messed up, dark, bruised – busted.

    I’m not homeless, I have a place to live

    Cracked walls, dim lights, shaking floors, and critters

    Shall I be quiet? No.

    If I shut up about it they’d call me a quitter.

    Just stay out of trouble and stay in school,

    If it don’t fall down around me.

    I’ll be as good as gold

    I’ll reach the American dream

    Before I’m too old.

    What if I told you no matter how hard I work,

    I’m still left out.

    Not completely by your doing – you don’t have that much power

    This ‘dream’ is not reachable because of Satan, the devil, the devourer.

    No matter what you call him, it’s one and the same.

    We’ve got to fight back, gotta call on God’s Name.

    Have you heard?

    The reward is with the least among men

    The first shall be last and the last shall be first

    Now why is black folks always last and black things considered cursed?

    Always have and probably always will,

    That is, until

    Until, we call on Jesus,

    Jesus, for real.

    Lord, show us Your might.

    We keep coming up last in the

    areas of life.

    From one corner of the world to the other

    We are despised

    for being the darker brother

    Jesus, we’re last but with your help we’ll
