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
