Dm
I have nothing but respect
for
our young people and what they're doing
My thing is, we adults did not stand strong
C
Dm
D
And on our square to bring our young
D
I know, I was the young person that had to fend
C
Dm
for himself in the streets of New York
with our young people
I say, "Look I ain't mad at you" know
Dm
D
Dm
I know that you are moving through a process
D
Dm
C
But we as adults, get to buy them back
D
Dm
I'm ready to compete with anybody
C
Dm
And what we have to is change the paradigm
of how we're interacting with them
D
You see because whether you realize it or not, it's
Dm
D
you they're shooting in the streets
they're the ones that are being shot
So with this entertainment or with this music,
maybe I don't like what I hear
Maybe that I don't like
some of the words I hear
Maybe that I don't like the direction
But I think they're doing a pretty
good job considering that
We, as men, the adult men, did not cover that
when we should've covered that
And protected them when we
should've protected them
And brought them up that so when we see an artist
acting in a most inappropriate way
"Where is the father in this?"
"Where is that male mentor
that can be there?"
We, as black men,
must take on the responsibility
As the honorable Elijah Muhammad
told Malcolm is that
A nation is only as strong as
its weakest family
And we have got to create nations
We have to create relationships between the
African man and the African woman
Outro 1
