I was walking down the street one day...
When i heard this voice say: "Who r U?" He seem so Blue... So I said my Name...
I looked into his eyes n started to cry, so I asked him why?
He said, "I heard the truth was in my roots, but I haven't seen a tree all day."
I didn't understand who was this Man. So I tried to ask again n he said...
"What about the leaves on trees with Broken Branches? where will they go after they've done their dances in the wind... Will they FLY or simply DIE, I... Y won't U Fly away, ay, Fly AWAY."
I was confused n I couldn't choose the title of his Blues and in response to his news, I looked at his shoes and noticed they were mine HOLD UP reWind..
The Voice was in my head telling stories of the dead all my life I'd been mis-lead to think that Slavery was over, now the World is on my shoulder asking Me!
What about the leaves on trees with Broken Branches?
Where will they go after they've done their dances in the wind...
Will they FLY or simply DIE, I, ... Y won't U Fly away, ay, Fly AWAY
The Moral of this Story is before U chase ur glory U better know Ur Roots, they hold the TRUTH! The Real SUN is in the SKY giving Life all Day to Fertile Grounds (2X)
So I ASK U....
