[Originally by Arrested Development]


Lord I've really been real stressed

Down and out, losing ground

Although I am black and proud

Problems got me pessimistic

Brothers and sisters keep messing up

Why does it have to be so damn tuff?

I don't know where I can go

To let these ghosts out of my skull

By brothers on the corner playing ghetto games

I ask you lord why you enlightened me

Without the enlightenment of all my folks

He said cuz I set myself on a quest for truth

And he was there to quench my thirst

But I am still thirsty...

The lord allowed me to drink some more

He said what I am searching for a
