IF I COULD NAME EVERY SONG THAT CAME ALONG THAT TOUCHED A MEMORY TO REMIND ME THAT I BELONG TO THAT TIME WHEN A LOVE SONG WAS A LOVE SONG, BROKENHEARTED OR FILLED WITH JOY THE ONE THAT YOU KNEW WORD FOR WORD EVEN WHEN YOU SANG OFF KEY THAT WAS ME/ WHEN I KNEW LOVED TOUCHED DOWN AND I COULD HOLD ON AND HANG ON TO THAT MAN WHEN HE WAS DOWN. THAT BLACK MAN WITHOUT HIS CROWN LORD KNOWS HE’S HEAVEN SENT I’M SURE HIS MIND IS SPENT YOU CAN SEE IT IN HIS EYES HE DOESN’T QUESTION HIS SELF WORTH HE’S SOMEWHERE BETWEEN FIFTY AND SIXTY GIVE OR TAKE FIVE THE ONE THAT WILL SHOW HE CAN TAKE A NOSE DIVE THEN SHIFT INTO HARD DRIVE HE WILL REMEMBER WHEN IT WAS COOL TO SAY “SHUCK AND JIVE” OLD SCHOOL WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE THE ONE THAT SAID WHAT HE MEANT AND MEANT WHAT HE SAID ALWAYS QUESTIONS WHAT HE'S BEEN TOLD THE WORLD BEEN ASKING THIS BLACK MAN QUESTIONS ALL HIS LIFE I BET HE’S TIRED OF ANSWERING QUESTIONS SOME THINGS HE KNOWS WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT.
