I just can't believe
All the things people say, controversy
Am I black or white?
Am I straight or gay? Controversy
Do I believe in God?
Do I believe in me?
Controversy, controversy
Controversy
I can't understand
Human curiosity, controversy
Was it good for you?
Was I what you wanted me to be?
Controversy
Do you get high?
Does your daddy cry?
Controversy, controversy
Controversy
Do I believe in God?
Do I believe in me?
Some people wanna die
So they can be free
I said life is just a game
We're all just the same
Do you wanna play?


See the future and it will be.

and Michael Brown to attend the Rally4Peace Concert on Mother's Day, May 10 in Baltimore after the turmoil. I posted a lot of info. and pix before and after the event hoping to draw attention. Some photos were of the relatives backstage with Alicia Keys, Beyoncé and Jay Z. I Saw Prince perform live once in DC, fabulous! (this Brit. video is the longest I could find in a rush)
