Martin Luther King Jr.
The Dilemma
[Verse 1: JustWord]
All together now
With no divide
I guess, I guess, I guess that's why we multiply
We live for Him now
And so we'll die
You see the mark
You know the tribe
The kingdom expands as the gospel spreads
Separation from God, boy, our soul dread
Got that heavenly attire, we'll rock those threads
And them all white linens, we'll rock those fresh
It's word over world
You shouldn't desire both
Cause He got the body covered like a choir robe
Your hearts like a city
You better guard them gates
I ain't from Jersey, but I know about the Garden State
They say life is what you make of it
But some see life and don't know what to make of it
There's many trials, many trials, that surround your boy
They don't add up; I still count them joy

[Bridge: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.]
We must not allow anybody or any force to make us feel that we do not count. I mean that we're gonna have to work hard. We're gonna have to burn the midnight oil sometime. We must set out to do our life's work so well, that nobody could do it better
[Verse 2: JustWord]
Aye, Whoodie!
If the beat goes nice
Then give the drummer some
If the flows well, then give the plumber some
It's not about the amount of people that I reach
Or the money that I make
I don't care if the numbers come
He knew us, now we know Him
We let it shine bright
Don't be soaked in
See, the Father treats us like we don't sin
Cause He put it on His tab like drinks on Him
Surely this was written to evangelize the aints
At the same time, I know it will edify the saints
My man's like, how can I be dead if I'm awake?
I can tell he struggle with the answer by his face
I told him, answer the call like receptionists
Go ahead and spill your heart like confessions kid
It's your time to go, like a crosswalk
And every believer gets across, like pedestrians

[Outro: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.]
The dilemma and the challenge. This is our dilemma. But this dilemma is at one and the same time, a great challenge. We are challenged to make a creative contribution in the life of our nation
