Mp3's for < $1:

Here, have a dollar, 
in fact no brotherman here, have two 
Two dollars means a snack for me, 
but it means a big deal to you 
Be strong, serve God only, 
know that if you do, beautiful heaven awaits 
That's the poem I wrote for the first time 
I saw a man with no clothes, no money, no plate 
Mr.Wendal, that's his name, 
no one ever knew his name cause he's a no-one 
Never thought twice about spending on a ol' bum, 
until I had the chance to really get to know one 
Now that I know him, to give him money isn't charity 
He gives me some knowledge, I buy him some shoes 
And to think blacks spend all that money on big colleges, 
still most of y'all come out confused 

[CHORUS:] Go ahead, Mr.Wendal (2x) 

Mr.Wendal has freedom, 
a free that you and I think is dumb 
Free to be without the worries of a quick to diss society 
for Mr.Wendal's a bum 
His only worries are sickness 
and an occasional harassment by the police and their chase 
Uncivilized we call him, 
but I just saw him eat off the food we waste 
Civilization, are we really civilized, yes or no ? 
Who are we to judge ? 
When thousands of innocent men could be brutally enslaved 
and killed over a racist grudge 
Mr.Wendal has tried to warn us about our ways 
but we don't hear him talk 
Is it his fault when we've gone too far, 
and we got too far, cause on him we walk 
Mr.Wendal, a man, a human in flesh, 
but not by law 
I feed you dignity to stand with pride, 
realize that all in all you stand tall 

Mr.Wendal, yeah yeah yeah, Lord, Mr.Wendal
