If I saw Cornel West on the street today...















Yo Cornel, Got a second
Try-na settle a debate
Tween my mind and my camera
And the future of my fate

I lost myself at Church
You made me feel so proud
With my son in my arms
You-sure-can motivate a crowd

And here we are now
On this LAZY street
On a LAZY day
With this LAZY beat

Now, Chicago ain't bad
And neither is my life
Neither is my job
And I really dig my wife

But the purpose I propose
Is about proposing purpose
And how to do it well
While waiting, shit, hell

I'm not saying what I mean
When what I mean to say
Is thank you for your words
And thank you for the way

That you pave a righteous road
For those less fortunate
And highlight the path
Of those who choose to walk it

But hold up, for you go-
I have to ask real quick
Let my lick my lip
And organize my words

...

How do I change the world?
