Mr. Wendal

[00:07.92] Go ahead, man
[00:09.03]
[00:22.18] Here, have a dollar
[00:23.24] In fact, no brother-man here, have two
[00:26.39] Two dollars means a snack for me
[00:28.06] But it means a big deal to you
[00:30.73] Be strong, serve God only
[00:32.37] Know that if you do, beautiful heaven awaits
[00:34.48] That's the poem I wrote for the first time
[00:36.35] I saw a man with no clothes, no money, no plate
[00:38.86] Mr. Wendal, that's his name
[00:40.86] No one ever knew his name 'cause he's a no-one
[00:43.16] Never thought twice about spending on a ol' bum
[00:45.17] Until I had the chance to really get to know one
[00:47.63] Now that I know him, to give him money isn't charity
[00:49.70] He gives me some knowledge, I buy him some shoes
[00:51.53] And to think blacks spend all that money on big colleges
[00:54.16] Still most of y'all come out confused
[00:56.04] Go ahead, Mr. Wendal
[00:57.81]
[01:04.59] Go ahead, Mr. Wendal
[01:06.17]
[01:14.44] Mr. Wendal has freedom
[01:15.72] A free that you and I think is dumb
[01:17.95] Free to be without the worries of a quick to diss society
[01:20.70] For Mr. Wendal's a bum
[01:22.18] His only worries are sickness
[01:23.57] And an occasional harassment by the police and their chase
[01:26.62] Uncivilized we call him
[01:28.33] But I just saw him eat off the food we waste
[01:31.03] Civilization, are we really civilized, yes or no?
[01:34.11] Who are we to judge?
[01:35.39] When thousands of innocent men could be brutally enslaved
[01:38.02] And killed over a racist grudge
[01:39.84] Mr. Wendal has tried to warn us about our ways
[01:42.87] But we don't hear him talk
[01:44.05] Is it his fault when we've gone too far
[01:46.03] And we got too far, 'cause on him we walk
[01:48.53] Mr. Wendal, a man, a human in flesh
[01:51.78] But not by law
[01:52.99] I feed you dignity to stand with pride
[01:55.41] Realize that all in all you stand tall
[01:57.43] Go ahead, Mr. Wendal
[02:01.67] Mr. Wendal, yeah
[02:04.97] Yeah, Mr. Wendal
[02:10.40] Mr. Wendal, yeah, Lord
[02:15.50]
[02:23.62] Mr. Wendal
[02:24.50]
[02:49.58] Mr. Wendal
[02:53.79] Mr. Wendal, yeah, Lord
[02:58.57] Mr. Wendal
[03:02.83] Mr. Wendal, yeah, Lord
[03:07.24] Mr. Wendal
[03:15.15]
