"Dear Mr. Man (Live) (B side)" Lyrics
Buy from iTunes: 
What's wrong with the world 2day?
Things just got 2 get better
Show me what the leaders say
Maybe we should write a letter
Said, dear Mr. Man, we don't understand
Why poor people keep struggling but U don't lend a helping hand
Matthew 5:5 say, "The meek shall inherit the earth"
We wanna be down that way
But U been trippin' since the day of your birth
Who said that 2 kill is a sin
Started every single war that your people been in?
Who said that water is a precious commodity
And dropped a big ol' black oil slick in the deep blue sea?
Who told Mr. Man, workin' 'round the clock
Would buy me a big house in the hood?
Cigarette ads on every block?
Who told Mr. Man, that I got a right 2 moan
About this big ol' hole up here in the ozone?
Somebody...
Oh, what's wrong with the world 2day?
Things just got 2 get better
Hey, dear Mr. Man, we don't understand
Maybe we should write a letter
Solo...
Clap your hands y'all, come on...
There ain't no sense in votin'; same song with a different name
Might not be in the back of the bus but it sho' feel just the same
Ain't nothing fair about welfare
Ain't no assistance in AIDS
Ain't nothing affirmative about your action till my people get paid
Your thousand years are up
Now we got 2 share the land
Section 1 - 14th Amendment state:
"No state shall deprive any person of life,
liberty, or property, without due process of law"
Mr. Man, we want 2 end this thang with a couple o' words:
We tired o'y'all
We tired, Maceo
Hey, sick and tired o' being tired
Dear, Mr. Man
Oh yeah...
