- Mr. Wendal
- Here, have a dollar,
- in fact no brotherman here, have two
- Two dollars means a snack for me,
- but it means a big deal to you
- Be strong, serve God only,
- know that if you do, beautiful heaven awaits
- Thats the poem I wrote for the first time
- I saw a man with no clothes, no money, no plate
- Mr.Wendal, thats his name,
- no one ever knew his name cause hes a no-one
- Never thought twice about spending on a ol bum,
- until I had the chance to really get to know one
- Now that I know him, to give him money isnt charity
- He gives me some knowledge, I buy him some shoes
- And to think blacks spend all that money on big colleges,
- still most of yall come out confused
- Go ahead, Mr.Wendal
- Mr.Wendal has freedom,
- a free that you and I think is dumb
- Free to be without the worries of a quick to diss society
- for Mr.Wendals a bum
- His only worries are sickness
- and an occasional harassment by the police and their chase
- Uncivilized we call him,
- but I just saw him eat off the food we waste
- Civilization, are we really civilized, yes or no ?
- Who are we to judge ?
- When thousands of innocent men could be brutally enslaved
- and killed over a racist grudge
- Mr.Wendal has tried to warn us about our ways
- but we dont hear him talk
- Is it his fault when weve gone too far,
- and we got too far, cause on him we walk
- Mr.Wendal, a man, a human in flesh,
- but not by law
- I feed you dignity to stand with pride,
- realize that all in all you stand tall
- Go ahead Mr. Wendal
- Mr.Wendal, yeah yeah yeah,
- Mr.Wendal,
- Mr.Wendal, yeah, Lord,
