MLK tribute Song

Skit: A white guy honoring MLK What is this April fools Days? Hook: MLK, MLK Made a change ,made a change Pave the way, paved the way MLK, MLK Verse 1: This year I wanna Celebrate And acknowledge a man Who was so great Take a minute to give thanks To a man who Wouldn't sit back When others in pain Who knew when things were Wrong and he took a stand Paid the ultimate price but he did it with pride And his life was more Fulfilled than yours or mine All I ever want to do is make a change King did that and it's great and I'm so amazed My role model amongst other greats. Because of him I can have black friends He made it ok to be lightskin. He took a look around and said Fuck the system. I dreammmm of a better one This fact I love. He fought and won Never pulled out a single gun.. He just knew something was wrong With the way our shit set up. No need for war, That's for sure Peaceful protests resulted in arrests. Citizens saw this as injustice, ridiculous. The cops must be racist The Us relented equal benefits Insert hook Verse 2: MLK had more courage than any of us really know Back then cops in the KKK Judges in the KKK Lawyers in the KKK He fought them anyways The odds were astonishing But he said this isn't right I cannot stand by While my people Lament and cry People like that I envy I Wish I could Be them I try And try to Honor them 'cuz they Sacrificed More than you or I Could ever realize in our life People who without the power Took on the responsibilities Yeah Peter Parker Without the abilities (Sample JFK ask not what your country) Who are a voice for the voiceless (sample hopsins Spider-man interview) Who are light for the hopeless Who persevere despite the obstacles Galileo, Gandhi, MLK 2Pac,Nelson Mandela, JFK Socrates Moses. Abraham Lincoln. Mary Beth Tinker What am I thinkin'? Jackie Robinson Courage Eddie Murphy Insert hook Verse 3: What is a hero? A hero sacrifices Gives more of themself in order for something more important than them They lay the groundwork, to make it easier for the next traveler behind them They are willing to go through prison, torture, humiliation, even death Who lead not because they want to, but because no one else will Who believed you can't escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today So on this day let's commemorate those who died for our sake And let's be clear It's not that they died or were killed that makes them great... It's that they knew the risks.. and fought against injustice anyways Insert Hook Outro: My final thought I'd like to make Before anyone thinks I mistake The truth with what is fake I know racism prevails today I know time aren't perfect, a shame But MLK has paved the way To a Better time and place To a tolerant Golden Age So the last thing Id like to say Is happy ml king day! Sample:(MLK: "...judged by the content of their character)
