Soul Rebel

They beat me and called me nigger decades ago
Still alive in the flesh I am their back fired ammo
My name is my name
My thoughts are lost time in my mind
I know how to read and write and not be denied
I will never forget my story, nor will you either
In the abundance of water only a fool will be bitter
They try to hide their past wrongs and keep painting the world white and dirty
So I decided to turn my bucket of color upside down
And walk around the world showing love in my footsteps to higher ground
No matter where I travel my words will travel farther
I won't share in the shedding of the lost tears of others 
I broke the system
I broke their religion
I broke the chains of pain
I write history that they will never taint
I was in the bones of Samson
I was part of the blood in the sweat of Jesus
I am a descendant of David
And Solomon's wisdom lies in the truth I live within
Who are you to take away life,  if you cannot create it
We cultivated these lands
No whips can take away what is to be free
The land we live on will one day be beneath the sea
The time we live in is borrowed
Man's law is man's law
The righteous answer only to God
If you bruise the heel, your head will be chopped off
From sunset to sunset
The tides will sink and rise
Only representing the struggle
Of how far we have drifted from God in our wayward lives.
