Bbm
I have nothing but respect
for
our young people and what they're doing
My thing is, we adults did not stand strong
Ab
Bbm
Bb
And on our square to bring our young
Bbm
people through this process
Bb
I know, I was the young person that had to fend
Ab
Bbm
for himself in the streets of New York
Bb
I know what happened,
with our young people
I say, "Look I ain't mad at you" know
Ab
no matter what I hear
Bbm
Bb
Bbm
I know that you are moving through a process
Bb
because they are attempting
Ab
To destroy the community so they're
Bb
using you
Bbm
They are buying you out
Bb
Bbm
Ab
But we as adults, get to buy them back
Bb
Bbm
I'm ready to compete with anybody
Bb
for our young people's minds
Ab
Bbm
And what we have to is change the paradigm
of how we're interacting with them
Bb
Deal with them from a heartfelt place
Gb#m
where they can understand
Bb
You see because whether you realize it or not, it's
Bbm
Bb
you they're shooting in the streets
Gb#m
You, young brothers,
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
That create survival nation
