So many people are dying
They get nothing to eat.
Some people are naked ya'll
and sleeping in the streets.

We don' got so uppity now
We won't pass near these streets.
The red lights might us
and cause us to have to speak.

We're so afaid we'll see our reflection
in the mirror of the faces, in these places,
which might cause us to remember
the struggles of our dying ages.

But dead is how folk see us
through the mask we wear on our faces.
If you could see yourselves
as your brothers and sisters do
impressions of achievement and prosperity
really wouldn't mean a thing to you.

We're people united to save our community,

So remove your mask
so people won't find it so difficult
to talk to you.Remove your mask
so people won't find it so difficult
to care for you,   cause we're people

united,  Let's save our community.
