Man with the Microphone - Cowboy Troy

I’m not a politician but I can be when I speak

It’s disturbingthat kids can’t even eat

But eat 52 hot dogs they call youa champion

If you think aobut it then it might make your mind cramp

Scared kids run away from broken homes

Cuz some kids are scared of gettin' broken bones

Mama talks 'em down till they’re feelin' like misfits

Daddy gets drunk and locks them in the closet

Sittin in when you sittin there readin bout it

Blame it on the liquor and they say they can’t do without it

But who speaks for the ones who can’t on their own

I guess it’s me cuz I’m the man with the microphone

Hey I’m the man with the microphone

Somebody turn it on so I can sing my song

I’m just saying what’s gotta be said

So don’t you turn your head from the man with the microphone

First Somalia now Sudan and Darfur

Don’t understand what innocence they’re dying for

Dodging bullets poor boys dying from disease

It’s enough to make a strong man hit his knees

And cry out to the Lord Jesus up above

To help the world find peace and secure love

The emcee said it like that in the 80's

To this day people still acting shady

In the Middle East mommas crying in the street

Angry fathers never to claim defeat

And they been fighting each other for thousands of years

Drenched with blood and all their tears

In a land no bigger than a county

Fightin each other like hunters for a bounty

But who speaks for those left without a home

I guess it’s me cuz I’m the man with the microphone

Hey I’m the man with the microphone

Somebody turn it on so I can sing my song

I’m just saying what’s gotta be said

So don’t turn your head from the man with the microphone
