My arms and legs are sore and in pain

My arms and legs are filled with sweat

Drizzled in shame

Abandonment ain't the word for it

Silence now is my new best friend

Till me and the son go meet again

I'll be seeing around a million men

Being lavished meant the half of it

Satisfaction came out of it

Just like the psalms that David sent

In a letter with my name on it

Spelling out all of God's glory it's amazing

Like potions in a glass the clouds emerge upon racially equivalent municipal beings

Different ethnicities and creeds formed from African descents

The smells of wild flowers in the air mixed with blood stench

And a war full of firecrackers on the fifth of July and in the heat of February

Life plus war equals Europeans looking at their money very scary

Life plus war equals Africans looking at their sons like go shoot Larry

Because he's who too and tootsie rolls are too sweet to hang with coca roaches!

I speak of a land Americans know nothing of

I speak of a demonized society polluted with sublime lies told by social media

I plea for the freedom of cognitive dissonance and the reviving of history of lost nations

I plea against the bias bullshit

Against stand your ground laws and Jim Crow laws and fourty acres and a mule until "we" feel like y'all had enough relaxation from poverty

We let the man tell us where we came from

The ones who stole us from our homeland

Yup, the same ones.

I'll sing the psalms of David till the son return in the sky with a burning sword in one hand and a single tear flowing down his eye

Then, like a little girl, il say "Jesus, don't cry."
