I long to be the best
not just regarded
sincerely want to help
mend the brokenhearted.
I long to be instrumental
in universal change
no need for a dollar bill
it's kind of hard to explain.
I long to be righteous
following all of His commands
standing here simmering in sin
getting closer to the sand.
I long to be the inspiration
like Dr. King I still dream
a pivotal voice for the mute
from my heart hear them scream.
I long to be a lender
of wisdom and true guidance
It's me one hundred percent
the one you can confide in.
I long to be the catalyst
reaching hearts to love every Color
he's White, she's Black
but still sister and brother.
I long to be the gatherer
of food to feed the hungry
praying the Most High never leaves
always keeping angels among me.
I long to be the chauffeur
to drive you to your need
a fair share for the masses
the only subtraction would be greed.
I long to be protection
for our children from this world
so they can exist happily
as little boys and little girls.
I long to be the equalizer
to delete all the rapists
it's said there's no glory in revenge
but for life I would chase this.
I long to be a cause raising
four quarters from population
to build a city of love and hope
and omit the language of segregation.
I long to be the example
we don't need a thesis from a scholar
in unity if we could remain
would you accept Change for a Dollar?
