Thank You Dr. King

Thank you, Dr. King, for giving me

Courage to stand in what we believe

And if he was still here, I know that it would be

A better place for you, a better place for me

Dr. Martin Luther the King who lead the stand off the bible you never took you hand off we in a land lost

But in God we trust if you was still here would the golden rue be real or still rust, they rushed you out

Now we talk about the past, the things you coulda done and did I try to live without havin to run thank you for a voice and not a gun, willy lynch politics the sons keep it intense if you was still here could it, would it have switched? You offered up ya life to unite black and whites if you was still here would ya head be worth the price, of keepin us separated, one of the sacrificed an ice cold world we still tryna reach heights
