“Carry The Torch”
There’s a young man trying to fight for his life
Streetwise, walkin’ on the shadow side
Got a gun up in his chest, and a snake in both his fists
This young man he ain’t got no plan
Skulls and bones is all he knows
Idle eyes a glowing
Too much time with nothing to do
He needs some help from me and you
Listen
Put your ears on people
Me and the Brothers got something to say
What’s what is what we’re laying down
The message from the father is about to come down
Come on
You may not a care
Let’s just say a prayer
Forgiveness is the key that might just help him by
Come on
You may not a care
Let’s just say a prayer
And carry the torch of love in your heart
Sister, honest girl, took to the streets
Baby’s cryin’, daddy’s gone and trying to make ends meet
She cries, boohoo
Walkin’ on the shadow side, law of the jungle
Got her soul up in a twist
The scarlet scar is on her face
She ran away, gone without a trace
Grandma and Grandpa done all they can do
She needs some help from me and you
Listen
Put your ears on people
Put your ears on
Me and the Brothers got something to say
What’s what is what we’re laying down
The message from the father is about to come down
Come on
You need a care
Let’s just say a prayer
Forgiveness is the key that might just help her by
Come on
You need a care
Let’s just say a prayer
And carry the torch of love in your heart
