The Greatest Alive

During my youth 

I once knew a Great Artist who spoke the truth 

He Was Speaking deep about our reality 

things that occurred to all of us 

Im talking about way back when a colored person couldn\'t ride on the front of the bus

Yeah , way back 

his mother was a part of the black panther 

I think thats who he got all his answers 

He Was the great 

He was intelligent

he showed no fear of telling it 

he said what was right and what was wrong 

he wrote them in poems, quotes and expressed them in his songs 

But then one day came 

the day that things started to change 

the day that brought blacks and browns and even whites close together again 

it was the saddest day 

to see a great Person get taken away at a very young age 

One thing to say 

just remember his name 

The Great
