Mr. Wendal

[00:07.96] Go ahead, man
[00:09.03]
[00:22.10] Here, have a dollar
[00:23.27] In fact, no brother-man here, have two
[00:26.33] Two dollars means a snack for me
[00:28.06] But it means a big deal to you
[00:30.76] Be strong, serve God only
[00:32.31] Know that if you do, beautiful heaven awaits
[00:34.50] That's the poem I wrote for the first time
[00:36.33] I saw a man with no clothes, no money, no plate
[00:38.82] Mr. Wendal, that's his name
[00:40.87] No one ever knew his name 'cause he's a no-one
[00:43.12] Never thought twice about spending on a ol' bum
[00:45.13] Until I had the chance to really get to know one
[00:47.64] Now that I know him, to give him money isn't charity
[00:49.63] He gives me some knowledge, I buy him some shoes
[00:51.59] And to think blacks spend all that money on big colleges
[00:54.19] Still most of y'all come out confused
[00:56.09] Go ahead, Mr. Wendal
[00:57.81]
[01:04.56] Go ahead, Mr. Wendal
[01:06.17]
[01:14.47] Mr. Wendal has freedom
[01:15.73] A free that you and I think is dumb
[01:17.94] Free to be without the worries of a quick to diss society
[01:20.74] For Mr. Wendal's a bum
[01:22.12] His only worries are sickness
[01:23.57] And an occasional harassment by the police and their chase
[01:26.68] Uncivilized we call him
[01:28.30] But I just saw him eat off the food we waste
[01:31.04] Civilization, are we really civilized, yes or no?
[01:34.10] Who are we to judge?
[01:35.37] When thousands of innocent men could be brutally enslaved
[01:38.16] And killed over a racist grudge
[01:39.87] Mr. Wendal has tried to warn us about our ways
[01:42.87] But we don't hear him talk
[01:44.03] Is it his fault when we've gone too far
[01:46.00] And we got too far, 'cause on him we walk
[01:48.53] Mr. Wendal, a man, a human in flesh
[01:51.70] But not by law
[01:52.92] I feed you dignity to stand with pride
[01:55.43] Realize that all in all you stand tall
[01:57.44] Go ahead, Mr. Wendal
[02:01.64] Mr. Wendal, yeah
[02:04.91] Yeah, Mr. Wendal
[02:10.36] Mr. Wendal, yeah, Lord
[02:15.50]
[02:23.68] Mr. Wendal
[02:24.50]
[02:49.56] Mr. Wendal
[02:53.89] Mr. Wendal, yeah, Lord
[02:58.57] Mr. Wendal
[03:02.85] Mr. Wendal, yeah, Lord
[03:07.28] Mr. Wendal
[03:15.14]
