#236 Parliament Square
I saw a fine brother walking
by parliament square
one early morning
I wanted to toot my horn
and say ‘big up yuhself my youth!’
but that wouldn’t be correct
that would be uncouth
so I watched him get smaller
in my rearview mirror
as I reflected how far we have come
it was just the other day
we were being sold
and traded
our lives were not our own
it was just the other day
when we were kings and princess
how far we have come
climbing up
and climbing down
it’s still a long way
our feet not touching the ground
so remember we were once great
so remember we were once slaves
it can all revert to either on any day
