PATIENT EYES written by Sheldon Manoo (1996)


(Hip Hop Beat)

I think I know this black identitied guy
Living somewhere in New York City
He dries their eyes when the children cry
And somehow he reminds me of me
You see he set his motion and goal straight
In Our Good Lord he has a lot of faith
He hangs out with anybody
Don’t talk bad ‘bout anybody
He listens to the different points of views
And doing all the good he can do
I think his name is Kevin
He is cleansing himself from sin
(Clean your soul brother!)

(Music)

Now in every person’s life something bothers them
Something to them is a big problem
Some people just learn to live with it
Some people just avoid it
Some people want to change the shit
Some don’t care for it
The criminal minds, the ignorant minds
It’s minute to change with the line
Kev is just waiting with hope that someday
All these things will be here no way
But how long can one man stand back
While all he stands for is under attack
Sometimes when you see the sky cry
How long can you watch with patient eyes?
And sometimes when pure justice dies
Can you stand back and watch with patient eyes?
With patient eyes!

(Music)
