I'm not a politician but I can be when I speak
|
It's disturbingthat kids can't even eat
|
But eat 52 hot dogs they call youa champion
|
If you think aobut it then it might make your mind cramp
|
Scared kids run away from broken homes
|
Cuz some kids are scared of gettin' broken bones
|
Mama talks 'em down till they're feelin' like misfits
|
Daddy gets drunk and locks them in the closet
|
Sittin in when you sittin there readin bout it
|
Blame it on the liquor and they say they can't do without it
|
But who speaks for the ones who can't on their own
|
I guess it's me cuz I'm the man with the microphone
|
|
Hey I'm the man with the microphone
|
Somebody turn it on so I can sing my song
|
I'm just saying what's gotta be said
|
So don't you turn your head from the man with the microphone
|
|
First Somalia now Sudan and Darfur
|
Don't understand what innocence they're dying for
|
Dodging bullets poor boys dying from disease
|
It's enough to make a strong man hit his knees
|
And cry out to the Lord Jesus up above
|
To help the world find peace and secure love
|
The emcee said it like that in the 80's
|
To this day people still acting shady
|
In the Middle East mommas crying in the street
|
Angry fathers never to claim defeat
|
And they been fighting each other for thousands of years
|
Drenched with blood and all their tears
|
In a land no bigger than a county
|
Fightin each other like hunters for a bounty
|
But who speaks for those left without a home
|
I guess it's me cuz I'm the man with the microphone
|
|
Hey I'm the man with the microphone
|
Somebody turn it on so I can sing my song
|
I'm just saying what's gotta be said
|
So don't turn your head from the man with the microphone
