[00:19.01]Written by：Mike Lafayette Troy
[00:38.02]I see an old man
[00:39.33]Sittin' on a park bench
[00:41.37]Lookin' in the skies when
[00:42.96]He can see the mouth-stench
[00:45.97]Of the range of the people
[00:46.97]Walkin' and talkin' nonsense
[00:51.25]In the park
[00:53.42]I see a man sittin' there
[00:56.13]With a newspaper under his head and hair
[00:58.19]I think
[00:59.11]He would be down for me
[01:00.44]To tell him
[01:00.92]That he'd been waiting 'round here
[01:02.36]For all of his life and
[01:06.17]It took time
[01:07.11]For the soul to come
[01:08.64]When it came
[01:09.5]I saw the same
[01:10.53]Old scene
[01:11.21]Over and over again
[01:12.4]My friend
[01:13.45]People's talkin' and squackin' in the park
[01:15.4]And sittin' on a bench
[01:17.9]Thinkin' 'bout things
[01:18.97]I think of all the people of the park
[01:22.64]Sleepin' in the street
[01:24.57]Livin' from their hearts
[01:26.17]Sleepin' in the street
[01:27.89]Livin's kinda hard
[01:29.59]Sleepin' in the street
[01:31.42]People fall apart
[01:33.69]There's a park bench
[01:34.81]That's painted black and white
[01:37.93]And when you sleep there
[01:40.619995]It don't get wet when you wake up
[01:43.21]Because the trees are withered
[01:45.759995]And so you dry in the sunlight
[01:49.03]You sit there and you prepare to make a move
[01:52.93]And so you go through each and every can
[01:56.05]Lookin' inside tryin' to see somethin' that you didn't
[01:59.06]See last night
[02:00.65]Wantin' to get somethin' to eat
[02:01.96]And you go down the street
[02:05.74]You see some friends of yours
[02:07.63]And then they all speak
[02:08.86]Sayin' what's happenin' man
[02:10.92]You sleepin' in the park again
[02:12.8]Yeah nothin' but a survival thang
[02:13.9]You know what I'm sayin'
[02:14.84]Insha'Allah
[02:15.15]Then again my friend
[02:16.69]All they want to do
[02:18.84]Is play you like you are a fool
[02:21.82]But I know better
[02:23.70999]You're safe from school
[02:25.48]Through this stay cool
[02:27.24]Mark you are mis-skewed
[02:28.8]And now I know better I maintain black
[02:31.27]We'll overcome
[02:35.23]In the sun
[02:37.04001]On the bench in the park
[02:38.75]Where you lay when it's dark
[02:40.53]And it's wet
[02:42.25]'Cause it's raining on you
[02:44.05]You have newspapers and you'd like to go home
[02:47.59]But you can't
[02:48.55]'Cause you just got put out on your own
[02:53.26]You're thinkin' 'bout your kids
[02:55.03]You're thinkin' 'bout your girl
[02:56.76]You're thinkin' of all the things you did
[03:00.41]You see the children play
[03:02.14]You hear the people barely look at you
[03:03.89]Laughing while they run away
[03:07.5]Sleeping in the street
[03:09.36]Living from the heart
[03:14.68]Sleeping in the street
[03:16.28]People fall apart
[03:19.38]In the park where are
[03:23.70999]They's every people
[03:24.81]Walkin' round lookin' at themselves far
[03:26.88]As if they were somethin'
[03:28.54001]But they ain't nothin'
[03:29.8]They frontin'
[03:30.43]Not a people nowhere standing
[03:31.70999]Aw these people are something
[03:34.76]Earth perched on
[03:35.61]The edge of all time
[03:36.58]And yet they search
[03:38.38]For drums imperial dreams
[03:40.03]Similarly so barred
[03:41.18]Can't buy my soul
[03:42.54001]Won't sell my soul to the devil
[03:43.52]On the other level never with another rebel
[03:45.15]Under trouble
[03:45.73]Aw no
[03:46.66]I'll never see you go down
[03:49.34]My people can't go down
[03:51.09]Oh no
