Sons of man never understand,
Sons of man with the time in our hands ,
We're the sons of man endin the road lyin in the sand,
We're the sons of man and we in control of all the land

If I could do one thing in life, I would preach till I die/,
And wonder why a son of a man would make his mother cry,/
I remember stayin out late at night not callin you mother and the tears sheddin down your eyes/'
You knew from the beginning these streets weren't nothin but the devil in disguise/
You would try to send me places to seek help and space/
But all I would do was learn to try and find a route to escape/
I thought you didnt care but only if I realized you were tryin to help/
Maybe If my father was here we wouldnt of gone through all this mess its like my life's on the shelf/

We're the sons of man and we in control of all the land

Dear Lord I'm havin nightmares within these dreams/
Constant sweats and heart pulsating screams/
Father I just dreamed that I was shot down last night/
In front of an imaginary son a daughter and my wife/
Lord if this is my future how can I change this way/
Cause my meaning of life isnt meant to be this way/
My mistakes mental errors and sins rolled into one/
My lord you never realized to gain control all I need is a gun/
Take the 9mm Beretta and point it right to my head/
Brains splatter the wall BOOM BOOM jus another street example dead/
But why do you keep me livin servin you on this earth/
Puttin nothin but temptation and pain in my heart since birth/

I'm a son of a man with death in his hands,
Whether I choose to use it is not in God's plan/
I could resort to silence but you cant trust the silent/
I could resort to violence but you cant respect violence/
I could resort to murder one click and theres death/
Or I could resort to suicide, standin by for my last breath/
God you say everyone on this earth is my brother/
Then I must be dead cause all my brothers are undercovers/
Doin righteous wrong and vice verse/
Only future plans is my last ride in the hearse/
Depression, Obsession and that nasty word HATE,
Fills my soul a hole a dangerous sign of fate/
Sons of Man hold your breath and walk with me/
Talk with me tell me who you often see/
Is it angelic or Evil, Does it enlighten or decieve you/
How does the world read you/
Legal or ILL-egal/
No matter what our past feeds you/
stand up and be equal/
Sons of man our fathers who stayed will love us till they die/
Sons of others will perish into God's eyes/
My brother Charles you were a son of man/
Untill a still-birth gave you no decision but to take God's Hand/
Now you play the role of two lives accompaying me in my cross/
So now you watch over me and try to make me realize my life was not a loss/
But we all come from somewhere in God's land/
Thats why I rep to the fullest that I'm a Sons of Man/
