I speak for them;
With no shame,
Sometimes for the rich;
I preach,
Many times for the poor,
And those who are not sure,
I speak for them;
And many times take the blame,
But I am not the criminal,
And I am not saying its minimal;
I just give them a voice;
In the midst of the noise,
And it’s not in my place,
To take a guess,
And say they are bad,
Or they have remorse and now sad;
I just speak for them,
For the ugly and the good,
I have stood;
And they call me what they think,
Many times they stink;
Kill all the lawyers,
They are but annoyers,
This they always say,
And for me they prey;
But I still speak for them,
And that with no shame,
I am there in their despair,
And I only seek a society that’s fair;
So I speak for them,
And it’s not a game;
Ofourse I may win or lose,
But this I choose,
To listen when no one will,
And that is the deal
