Understanding



Why do we fight - both black and white

cause we dont understand

If you give, you get but if you want respect

then please understand

Hatred begins and no one wins

tell me who pays the price

From our generation to the next

Have respect for human life



A man kills another man for things he doesnt understand

How can someone take another life

If people just dont give a damn

cant respect a man for what he is a man

Then the world will destruct from racial strife



Repeat chorus



I do believe in self and self-respect is where it starts

you have to love yourself before you love

And if love must play a part - then it has to come from your heart

In order for the pain of hate to cease



We got - we got - we got to stop hatred

Hatred is something perpetrade by lies

We got - we got - we got to have justice

The system plays God by who lives or dies

We got - we got - we got to have equality

Do not judge a man by the color of his skin

We need - we need - we need understanding

To make this world a better place to live in
