Chinese Man - Introduction (Morning Sun) lyrics

Jeru The Damaja (the original) Chinese Man (holdin' it up) Morning Sun the re-do (the re-do) I've learned so much in my travels all over the world (for real) Come to appreciate life more, life is beautiful (lovely) From the ghettos of East New York (the ghetto) To globe trottin' (all over the world) Life, lessons, curses and blessings I sit back, ponder the universe's greatest questions What if we were judged by our heart's orientation? Not, s**, complexion, religion or nation? Would we still have starvation? Would we still k** to prove our God is the God of creation? Would the greedy stay fat from the labor of the poor? Would war mean more than the spoils of war? Would the truth be a guiding force? Would peace and love be the source that plans our life course? Would prison be packed to the brim with men, and Would we execute them for a life of sin? Would my good friend k** my another good friend? Would one be in the ground and one in the pen? (Locked up) Would there be a such thing as a gun? These are questions I ask when I sit under the morning sun Depression, recession, obsession Where is God? You think blasphemous I'm asking this question Transgression, Suppression, Regression A little suggestion for self-reflection Aggression, Obsessions, Positions Where is God? You think blasphemous I'm asking this question Can I make a little suggestion, I think the answer's in self-reflection [Aye, The Mourning Son] I contemplate, why do we hate? Is evil cultivated or a sin of my friend innate? People pray for iconic escape, God's return date Until then what's the world's fate? Could we live in harmony without the threat of hell? Or do you go to heaven for dying in 9/11? Poverty, corruption, over-consumption, ma**-production, ma**-destruction Is survival our only function? If the world so cold then what's the purpose of a man's soul? What's a man true goal? Is it to eat good, have s** and collect gold? Little children suffer horrors untold All across the globe, mothers are raped, their babies are sold Could different cultures live as one? These are questions I ask when I sit under the mourning son [x2] These are questions I ask when I sit under the morning sun Depression, recession, obsession Where is God? You think blasphemous I'm asking this question Transgression, Suppression, Regression A little suggestion for self-reflection Aggression, Obsessions, Positions Where is God? You think blasphemous I'm asking this question Can I make a little suggestion, I think the answer's in self-reflection
