I started rhyming just to be somebody To make people notice me at the party And not just be the new kid that's albino Make em say yeah I know but have you heard him rhyme though Now take that same party around the globe And my stories connected with a lot of folks I hope so cause that's the only thing I know I know it so well I tell it with my eyes closed And I go with the feeling from the start Blind in the eye so I see you with my heart And to me all ya'll look exactly the same fear faith compassion and pain And try as we may to mask it remains Such as your religion or your past and your race The same color blood just pass through our veins And tears taste the same when they splash on your face The worlds getting too small to stand in one place Its like we're roommates just sharing a space Can't separate and still carry the weight Gotta heal get away from the fear and the hate Gotta shake free from the chains You see what remains Just a human being end of the day Don't matter to me what name you gave your spiritual plane Close your eyes and you'll see what I'm saying I started rhyming just to be somebody Found out that I already was Cause can't nobody be free unless we're all free There's no me and no you its just us Street preacher what a fan once called me I been called worse and tried to live up Hope you don't mind a few more stories I swear to god ya'll I tell em with love --- Us - Stokley Williams and Brother Ali
