Support System

Everyone needs a support system

Family I suppose would be number one

but some families get it all twisted

Some fall back on drugs and alcohol

as if that will cure their all

Others may like the Bible

some art and poetry

just to name a few

Mine as far back as I

can remember has always been music

Always with me good and bad times

gives me the rhythm and vibe to just do it

Through the years I have fought the power

with the Isleys, have said it loud I am Black

and I am proud with James Brown

Music keeps me straight

has helped dictate my fate

Like to listen to that music that

gets down to the bone

Music has made me Stand

with Sly and the Family Stone

Music is my lethal and like Sly

without a doubt I am Everyday People
