MI       
LA
 Here, have a dollar
            
MI               
LA
In fact, no brotherman here, have two
MI            
LA
 Two dollars means a snack for me
       
MI           
LA
But it means a big deal to you
MI               
LA
 Be strong, serve God only
                 
MI               
LA
Know that if you do, beautiful heaven awaits
           
MI                
LA
That's the poem I wrote for the first time
        
MI                      
LA
I saw a man with no clothes, no money, no plate
    
MIadd9  
LA7+
Mr. Wendal, that's his name
            
MIadd9              
LA7+
No one ever knew his name cause he's a no-one
              
MIadd9               
LA7+
Never thought twice about spending on a ol' bum
                
MIadd9               
LA7+ 
Until I had the chance to really get to know one
           
MIadd9                      
LA7+
Now that I know him, to give him money isn't charity
           
MIadd9                 
LA7+
He gives me some knowledge, I buy him some shoes
                 
MIadd9               
LA7+
And to think blacks spend all that money on big colleges
      
MIadd9          
LA7+
Still most of y'all come out confused
          
MIadd9     
LA7+  
Go ahead, Mr. Wendal...

MI          
LA
 Mr. Wendal has freedom
            
MI              
LA
A free that you and I think is dumb
             
MI                   
LA
Free to be without the worries of a quick to diss society
MI             
LA
 For Mr. Wendal's a bum
         
MI                  
LA
His only worries are sickness
                            
MI                 
LA
And an occasional harassment by the police and their chase
         
MI         
LA
Uncivilized we call him
               
MI                   
LA
But I just saw him eat off the food we waste
      
MIadd9               
LA7+
Civilization, are we really civilized, yes or no
MIadd9     
LA7+
Who are we to judge
                   
MIadd9            
LA7+
When thousands of innocent men could be brutally enslaved
    
MIadd9        
LA7+
And killed over a racist grudge
    
MIadd9           
LA7+
Mr. Wendal has tried to warn us about our ways
    
MIadd9         
LA7+
But we don't hear him talk
          
MIadd9           
LA7+
Is it his fault when we've gone too far
               
MIadd9         
LA7+ 
And we got too far, cause on him we walk
    
MIadd9     
LA7+           
MIadd9     
Mr. Wendal, a man, a human in flesh
        
LA7+
But not by law
           
MIadd9   
LA7+
I feed you dignity to stand with pride
             
MIadd9     
LA7+
Realize that all in all you stand tall
    
MIadd9      
LA7+  
MIadd9     
LA7+
Go ahead, Mr. Wendal
    
MIadd9     
LA7+  
MIadd9     
LA7+ 
Mr. Wendal, yeah
          
MIadd9     
LA7+
Lord, Mr. Wendal...
