WE are GREATER than i

Hi, I like to introduce myself to you.....
Its nice to meet
I am another black statistic
I am an individual, thats trying to do what Im supposed to do
I try to handle my business, but yet and still, regardless I am always the target
Im going try to make an excuse, that just the way things goes
Whether Im wrong, whether IM right, its like it doesnt matter or make any difference
For it seems like the wrong and the right are a reflection
And all I can see that I am another statistic
I dont really have much of anything
And because of the fact, I havent really made any type of impact
Thats known world wide, nationwide, city wide, state wide or any type of wide
They probably see me as a spectacle
So all I can see that I am another statistic
Afterall thats what they see
Another number, another black man that probably wont make it

I dont have anything to show forth of how Ive been living
I had dreams or thought I had dreams
But yet and still, the only time I can see them is when I sleep
Many times, in my sleep I dont see them at all
And the thing is I know of the ancestral journeys that were traveled
Trying to get some of the mysteries unraveled
But yet and still, Im not sure what to do anymore
So Im using this as my final words
Making this my presentation
Before my assassination
I know theyre coming for me
Then again, somebody is alwyas coming for somebody
Do know that someone is always targeting another person
To become a murdered victim
Its not just high profile, or low profile but also whats considered as a no profile thats also targets
but thats the secret though
The thing is I know that Im going to meet these cops
There going to come in my house
As they come, theyll probably introduce themselves as the arresting officer
Then they will say and you are
And Ill introduce myself and best as I can, I will look at them straight in the eyes
Then I will tell them Hi, I am another black statistic
I will not fight anymore, if you want this land you can have it

For those of you thats trying to go to the promised land
I wish you God bless and well
But I wont be there with you
Far as I can see, anytime there was a promised land
It became a land of trouble
From the land that was to be with Moses to the one that was to be with Martin Luther King
So I will be cautious about a movement to a promised land
I will not try to go to a promised land except the one promised by God which is Heaven
I will not try to prolong my life on a place that see my worth below human life
I remember Malcolm X wanted to upgrade the Civil Rights movement to Human Rights movement
For the things in this country
I advised listeners and readers dont be fooled by the illusion of freedom
For it can be a reflection of a prison illusion
Both causing confusion
For both can be the same
All they have to do is move the walls out of visual range
They call it freedom, but keep traveling that wall will be met again

To my young people, just because I didnt make it dont me your path
Must be parallel to the journey I have
But learn from this message that you can learn from the mistakes
You can create change
All you have to do is want it, desire it, then perform it
I have education but it didnt take me far as I was told in school
There was more to it
Education is key but the locksmith changed the locks, so I couldnt get in
So my dreams was just in my imagination that I dont see anymore
It never came into reality
So Im just walking around in a life of misery
Thats empty so its not fulfilled
Im saying this before they have me killed
I am another black statistic
For Im not as strong as I thought I was or hoped to be
Im not known that much so if I be killed it probably wont make a difference anyway
As I travel on this journey I remember asking God, how do I keep telling the ladies to keep producing
This is what I leave you with ladies
Regardless of industry, you keep producing for God gave it to you to do
Men, regardless of whats being told
We have emotions, we are human, we can feel, we can communicate
Whatever this tough man act is, I decided not to do it anymore
Actors get paid money
Im not even rich so Im doing this for free
Providing service for free and getting no benefits
I make this my presentation
Now before my assassination

As I introduce to you, I am another black statistic
