Each One Reach One

Each one Reach one

We gotta teach some

Before the system gets

a hold of them and eats 'em

We see it play out 

everyday

They are made to feel worthless in every way

Stigmatized for where they live

Ostracized for the color of their skin

Persecuted in the streets

Executed on the cold concrete

Hating each other at every turn

Venting anger on their community

and watching it burn

When will it end

When will the awakening come

When each one of us, reaches one

Yes, that sometime thankless task

of passing on wisdom before we pass

For they're under attack before their young lives begin

From media portrayal and the legislative pen

Labeled thugs, criminals, and up to no good

And god forbid if they're wearing a hood

But they're our beautiful young,
talented, souls

With unlimited potential
yet, most haven't been told

You matter
We care
And we will do all we can
to support you,
protect you
and nurture your plans

For there's no
telling all that
they can become

If each one of us, reaches one
