Skit:
A white guy honoring MLK
What is this April fools Days?

Hook:
MLK, MLK
Made a change ,made a change
Pave the way, paved the way
MLK, MLK


Verse 1:
This year I wanna Celebrate
And acknowledge a man Who was so great
Take a minute to give thanks
To a man who Wouldn't sit back When others in pain
Who knew when things were Wrong and he took a stand
Paid the ultimate price but he did it with pride
And his life was more Fulfilled than yours or mine
All I ever want to do is make a change
King did that and it's great and I'm so amazed
My role model amongst other greats. Because of him I can have black friends
He made it ok to be lightskin. He took a look around and said
Fuck the system. I dreammmm of a better one
This fact I love. He fought and won
Never pulled out a single gun.. He just knew something was wrong
With the way our shit set up. No need for war, That's for sure
Peaceful protests resulted in arrests. Citizens saw this as injustice, ridiculous. The cops must be racist
The Us relented equal benefits


Insert hook

Verse 2:
MLK had more courage than any of us really know
Back then cops in the KKK Judges in the KKK
Lawyers in the KKK He fought them anyways
The odds were astonishing But he said this isn't right
I cannot stand by While my people Lament and cry
People like that I envy I Wish I could Be them I try
And try to Honor them 'cuz they Sacrificed
More than you or I Could ever realize in our life
People who without the power Took on the responsibilities
Yeah Peter Parker Without the abilities
(Sample JFK ask not what your country)
Who are a voice for the voiceless (sample hopsins Spider-man interview)
Who are light for the hopeless
Who persevere despite the obstacles
Galileo, Gandhi, MLK
2Pac,Nelson Mandela, JFK
Socrates
Moses. Abraham Lincoln. Mary Beth Tinker
What am I thinkin'? Jackie Robinson
Courage
Eddie Murphy

Insert hook

Verse 3:
What is a hero? A hero sacrifices
Gives more of themself in order for something more important than them
They lay the groundwork, to make it easier for the next traveler behind them
They are willing to go through prison, torture, humiliation, even death
Who lead not because they want to, but because no one else will
Who believed you can't escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today
So on this day let's commemorate those who died for our sake
And let's be clear
It's not that they died or were killed that makes them great...
It's that they knew the risks.. and fought against injustice anyways

Insert Hook



Outro:
My final thought I'd like to make
Before anyone thinks I mistake
The truth with what is fake
I know racism prevails today
I know time aren't perfect, a shame
But MLK has paved the way
To a Better time and place
To a tolerant Golden Age
So the last thing Id like to say
Is happy ml king day!
