[00:14.51]I plan to stay a believer
[00:20.75]I plan to stay a believer
[00:28.16]I met a frlend of mine the other day
[00:31.24]He said he couldn't stay
[00:34.27]Because the world was going to end
[00:36.09]At the end of may
[00:39.67]Well may done passed
[00:41.57]And everybody still sitting here on the airs
[00:46.17]With some talk
[00:47.31]They're now waiting for the judgment day
[00:52.26]But why wait
[00:53.99]Why don't you look around
[00:55.87]Haven't you found
[00:57.94]That the judgment day
[00:59.50]Is already in play
[01:01.71]For the black
[01:03.29]And now come time
[01:04.25]For the old faye
[01:10.91]And I plan to stay a believer
[01:17.34]I plan to stay a believer
[01:24.48]I got an Indian friend
[01:26.27]Who says he's some kin to another Indian
[01:31.14]He says he's filled with hate
[01:33.13]Because his tribe they waited too late
[01:37.34]To protest the past
[01:38.58]Instead they just sat there on their airs
[01:42.28]Signing on the dotted line
[01:44.55]When they didn't have Indian lawyers at that time
[02:02.63]We're over 20 million strong
[02:04.71]And it wouldn't take long
[02:06.11]To save the ghetto child
[02:08.98]If we'd get off our a
[02:10.65]10 a man yearly
[02:11.67]Think awhile
[02:14.32]20 million times 10 yearly
[02:16.28]Would surely then set our brothers free
[02:20.52]What congregation with better relations
[02:23.60]Would demand more respect from society
