oh, man

[Chorus] Oh man I want to live, more than I knew I could Oh man I want to see my grand babies be good [Verse 1] My mother called the other day Said she'd been worrying about me She knows it’s been a long time coming, now She don't want me to screw it up, screw it up, screw it up But silence is as big a crime I be damned if I turn the blind eye [Chorus] Oh man I want to live, more than I knew I could Oh man I want to see my grand babies be good [Verse 2] And what about Palestine? But cash flows at the border lines (Eeek) Every man on his own, that's the strife, strife, strife Must keep solidarity alive [Bridge] My problem, your problem, our problem, world problem Black problem, white problem Let’s solve 'em, goddamn Prison's the problem, the system's the problem See greed is the problem, the root of the problem Feelin' like [Chorus] Oh man I want to live, more than I knew I could Oh man I want to see my grand babies be good Oh man I want to live, more than I knew I could Oh man I want to see my grand babies be good [Verse 3] Oh man, you like your power trips, your Caymans Your aunt Sally, and her children I'm left to wonder if it's god's plan Or yours man Oh man You like to think that you been chosen These broken mirrors on your flooring Tell me who’ll be saving those who are found Beneath your feet over and over again Oh man [Chorus] Oh man I want to live, more than I knew I could Oh man I want to see my grand babies be goof (I wanna see them grow up) Oh man I want to live, more than I knew I could (I wanna see them love) Oh man I want to see my grand babies be good (I wanna see them thrive) (Wanna see my babies’ babies make it out alright)
