“…what does it matter these things we do / if nobody knows it’s been done and it dies with you…”
Save My People
Copyright NYOIL / PEMGChorus
Everything aint about you, truthfully it aint about me.
None of that really matters, I just wanna save my people!
That’s one thing about you, you can keep talking about me.
I don’t really care about you, I just wanna save my people!I sat and spoke with Al Sharpton at the house of justice bust this we had divisions and we chose to discuss this plus it’s no justice no peace no justice us gets and I see that Unity in the Community us just must get
So face to face I faced the face of fate if I keep facing forward I’d be placed in this space
without the right knowledge of self I’d be spaced in that placed unprepared to face what I’d faced and be debased and disgraced
see a ship wit no rudder is a child with no father no mother no direction far too much to discover
but still you can’t ignore the next generation young leadership unequipped to address next situation
He said I aint tryna hold it I’d be happy to pass it.. but I aint tryna pass it till I’m certain that somebody has it
Leadership of our people aint some gift to give it’s a burden to earn cause the heat is hot and the fire burn
for realChorus
In a discussion with Dr. Ron Daniels and how he handles the passage of leaderships mantle
you see the old guard is just candles all converged the create a flame now very few candles remain
he explained what does it matter these things we do if nobody knows it’s been done and it dies with you
hope for our people lies in the eyes of guys like you and I sorta cried inside cause I knew what he said to be true cause I thought of the lies of pride that reside inside us too and if our conscious doesn’t rise then what they fought and died for is thru.
it ain’t about leading from the front it’s about giving them what they need so they can proceed to what they want
it ain’t about domination it’s about consolidation unification cooperation
our situation is predicated on frustration we gon’ need elevation to rebuild the nation
It’s real yall it’s real!Chorus
I caught a build with Malik Shabazz cause he has the burden of building the party since the Hammer has passed (he say)
radical thought is for naught if there exist no discipline to provide structural support
Farrakahn held my hand as I reached to greet him as I expressed what it had meant for me to finally meet him
I promised to make him proud and do the best I can he said I’m already proud of you as he shook my hand
Haki Madibuti Jiribu Hill Sonja Sanchez saw the fire in my spirit but taught me to chill
but more important than all of these folks is the build with my children the struggles they face displaced from this life they living
thrust upon them a generation of disgust upon them not trust honor them plus childhoods rushed
So now as NYOIL I’ve accepted my mission which is to change the condition in which my people are living
