An older lady walks up, greets us with a smile
asks how we both doin, and sits down
she knows what its like to grow up in the south
civil rights when the whites was holdin us down
I sort of figured to myself that even though her times were tougher
they still took time out to speak to one anotherwell look at us, me and this young brother
actin too proud to play down or speak to each other
so inside I feel the shame not sure howto but I wanna change
and as long as I’m alive then the fact remains
that it’s never too late for us to break the chains
