The Words of Two Praying Young Negroes

Where He goes, We go

When learning to lead you must first follow

In the strength of our praises to God we owe

Today's the day our youth must grow

To thrive and survive in this world we know

Where race leads the race though it might not show

Living means surviving in these very trying times

How he despises the deaths of innocence and unholy lies

The same situation that brings tears to Mike Brown's mother's eyes

Do more than look and shake your head and sigh

Stand strong and be the voice for those who are yet to re-arise

The time is now to teach, preach, and reach out a helping hand

Aid your fellow brother and sister not in their down fall like shifting sand

Lean not toward some personal grand master plan

All need to make sure the youth do understand

Our God never goes back on his word and on it we must stand
