stare and stare

stare and stare

i look across the aisle at the process he wears

while people sitting back digging my nappy hair

a sister standing and no one even cares

we're all just riding with our nose in the air

another stop on the bus

some people boarding different color then us

they hate to mingle but no one makes a fuss

the thing about it

there's no one here we can trust

of all the sunday times of preaching

where all the folks that the scripts been reachin'

they're hard to find

like it's a crime to do of good and brotherhood

seems no one will and the only thrill

is doing bad and that's kind of sad

so all i'm trying to say is what a way

what a way to waste the day

the black and the old faye

working the same jobs for the pay

but it seems here lately

we have nothing to say
