TALKING LOUD AND DOING NOTHING
African American Men and Women are really great people
They work hard trying to raise their families the right way
To do the best for children they climb the highest steeple
Always monitoring carefully what their children do and say
Sadly, we have more males and females than Men & Women
Our males and females do nothing but run their mouths and drink
Way males and females are neglecting our children is a real sin
Yes, Men and Women can but males and females, cannot think
Every day, due to males and females children are needlessly dying
Men and Women let us open the eyes of useless males and females
African American males and females stop all the bull jiving and lying
Start saving money for your children’s education, not for their bails
Cared more about Michael Jackson’s death than about local children
Had Michael Jackson been shot, you would be protesting for weeks
Children have very few Men and Women on whom they can depend
Adults, it is our love, support, guidance and protection children seeks
Baltimore, Maryland a five year old girl shot in the head, July 2nd 2009
Let us see if Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson will be out lending support
When there is no media coverage, our “famous leaders” you cannot find
males and females, this non-leadership role you need to quickly abort
Our adults and children are not safe in or out of their homes these days
Children dying, should make males and females MEN and WOMEN
At the worthlessness of many so-called African Americans, I am amazed
Come on, wake-up and become someone our young people can depend
This is not some game that being played on African Americans, it is REAL
The fact that we are dying more than any other race should not be surprising
Wake-up and give ourselves and our children a future, we can see and feel
Right now, we are ignoring the situation, “Talking Loud & Doing Nothing”
Children Need MEN & WOMEN…Not Just a male Or female
