I SING A SONG

OF LIGHT AND LOVE

OF LOVING SERVICE

TO GOD ABOVE

AND GOD WTIHIN AND THEN AGAIN

I SING A SONG OF LIFE

I SING A SONG OF FAMILYHOOD

IT’S UNDERTSTOOD

OUR UNIVERSE

ALL KNOWS WELL GOOD

THE HARMONY OF LIVING THINGS

AND IS UNIFIED WITH EVERYTHING

I SING A SONG A SERVITUDE

TO GOD

WHO TELLS US WHAT TO DO

OF  HOW TO DEAL WITH DARK AND LIGHT

AND HOW WE ALL MUST PAY THE PRICE

FOR OUR DECISIONS

GOOD AND BAD

AND THERE ARE TIMELINES

WE COULD’VE HAD

WHERE LIFE

WAS WONDERFUL AND SWEET

AND NOT LIKE IT IS

UPON THESE STREETS

WE WALK

HERE AND NOW

AND I WONDER HOW

TO GET TO THERE FROM HERE

FOR I WALK THESE STREETS

WITH CAUTIOUS EYES

SIZING UP

ALL PASSERSBY

PRAYING I WON’T BE COMPROMISED

IN A MOMENT OF WEAKNESS

THAT MEANS MY DEMISE

I KNOW THAT HERE

NOT ALL OF YOU

HAVE TO GO THROUGH

WHAT I DO

AND YET

YOURS IS MUCH THE SAME

I FEEL YOUR REALITY

THOUGH DIFFERENT FROM MINE

IS THE SAME

YOU SEE

THE GUNS THAT REST WITHIN YOUR TRUCKS

MEANS YOU TRUST YOUR NEIGHBORS

JUST AS MUCH AS US

AND BECAUSE YOU FEEL THE NEED

TO ARMS YOURSELVES

WE ALL CAN SEE

AMERICA IS A LAND THAT BLEEDS

AMONG OTHERS

FOR ONE REASON

OR ANOTHER

AND IT WOULD BE NICE AND GREAT

IF WE COULD ALL EMBRACE

EACH OTHER

AS NEIGHBORS AND COUSINS

SONS AND DAUGHTERS

SISTERS AND BROTHERS

IS THAT THAT NOT WHAT WE ARE

OR IS THERE SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED

THAT SETS SOME OF YOU

FAR APART FROM THE REST OF US

I’M BEGINNING TO WONDER

WHY LOVE IS NOT ENOUGH

SOME OF YOU EXHIBIT A DARK CULTURE OF HATE

AND I’VE FOUND MYSELF

WONDERING OF LATE

IF YOU ARE REALLY LIKE THE REST OF US

FORGIVE ME MY ASKING

IT’S ONLY SOME THAT’S JIST JUST

AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

OF ALL THAT I HAVE SEEN YOU DONE

KILING OTHERS

TO THE LAST DAUGHTER AND SON

ADULTS AND CHILDREN

MOTHERS AND FATHERS

SONS AND DAUGHTERS

AND WHILE THE WHOLE WORLD HOLLERS

YOU JUST RAISE UP YOUR HANDS

AND SAY

IT’S JUST THAT

WE’RE JIST US

AND EVERYBODY HATES US

BECAUSE GOD LOVES US

AND IF YOU’RE NOT ONE OF US

YOU’LL NEVER UNDERSTAND

THAT IS WHY WE FIGHT SO MUCH

TO HAVE OUR OWN LAND

 

BUT HISTORY IS PROVING

THAT YOU ARE NOT WHAT YOU SAY

YOU HAVE/ARE NOT THE BLOOD OF OLD

BUT SOMETHING DIFFERENT TODAY

ACCORDING TO YOU

YOU LEFT EGYPT BLACK

BUT YOU CAME BACK WHITE

WHAT’S UP WITH THAT?

ALL 12 TRIBES OF THE HEBREWS ARE FOUND IN ETHIOPIA

YE ONES ARE NOT FROM THERE

OF THAT I CAN ASSURE YA

AND I HAVE TO ASK YOU

JUST WHAT MAKES YOU ALL SO SURE OF

THE IDEA THAT YOU’RE THE CHOSEN ONES

THERE IS NO PROOF OF THAT

YET YOU CLAIM TO BE THE OLD ONES

YET ETHIOPIA CONSTANTLY PROVES YOU WRONG

PERHAPS YOU SHOULD GO BACK

TO THE STEPPES THAT YOU CAME FROM

THEY NEED YOUR HELP

SINCE THAT’S YOUR HOME THAT YOU CAME FROM

YOUR HOPES TO BUILD

A CAPITOL

FROM WHICH TO RULE WORLD FROM

HAS BEEN BURNT TO ASHES

NOW YOU HAVE TO SAVE YOUR ASSES

 

THERE IS NO WHERE YOU CAN RUN

THERE IS NOWHERE YOU CAN HIDE

YOU WILL NEVER GET THE CHANCE

TO RULE OR GENOCIDE

ANYONE AND EVERYONE

IN THE WORLD THAT CAN’T DECIDE

WHAT IS TRUTH

AND WHAT IS LIES

BUT IT’S NOT UP TO US, OKAY?

GOD IS RULING HIS CREATION

IN THE MOST

EXPEDIENT WAY

NO WILL IS WASTED

NO ENERGY IS WASTED

NO TIME IS WASTED

NO EFFORT IS WASTED

NOTHING IS WASTED

THIS WORLD WILL ASCEND

BEYOND YOU

AND EVEN THEN

WILL YOU STILL STRIVE

TO HAVE YOUR OWN WAY?

AND THAT IS WHY YOU WILL LOSE

AND THAT IS WHY YOU HAVE LOST

AND THAT IS WHY YOU WILL NEVER BEGIN

TO LIVE A BETTER LIFE

IN A REALM THAT HAS NO END

SORRY AND NOT SORRY

TO SEE YOU HERE AND GONE

BUT YOU KNOW

YOU SERVE/D YOUR PURPOSE

AND NOW IT’S TIME FOR YOU TO GO

THERE IS NO PLACE FOR YOU IN LIGHT AND LOVE

THERE IS NO PLACE FOR YOU

IN ALL THE REALMS OF GOD ABOVE

 

WE  TRIED TO WARN YOU

WE TRIED TO HELP YOU

WE TRIED TO

HELP YOU CHANGE YOUR WAYS

TO NO AVAIL

AND EVEN THE THOUGHT OF HELL

COULD NOT DETER YOU

UNCREATION IS AN AWFUL THING

I GOTTA TELL YOU

BUT IF THIS IS WHAT YOUR ACTIONS BRING

KARMA UPON YOU

THEN TRY TO DO THE RIGHT AND NATRUAL THING

AND ACCEPT YOUR FATE

AND WHEN YOU’RE GONE

ALL HATE WILL BE GONE

ALL DARKNESS WILL LEAVE US

AND THEN GOD WILL BE PLEASED WITH US ALL

WE WILL NOT FALL

WE WILL NOT FALL

WE WILL NOT FALL

WITH YOU

OH NO

WE WILL ASCEND

WE WILL ASCEND

WE WILL ASCEND

FINALLY

DON’T YOU WISH THAT YOU COULD BE

WHAT WE ARE ALL MEANT TO BE

IF SO

SURRENDER

AND IF NOT

STILL SURRENDER

GOD WILL FIND A PLACE FOR YOU

TO DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO

JUST SURRENDER

BUT NOT HERE

NOT NOW

NO WAY

NO HOW!

A PLACE OF YOUR OWN

AS YOU PRAYED FOR

AND WORKED FOR

AS I’VE BEEN SHOWN

YOU COULD HAVE

IF ONLY YOU

SURRENDERED

TO GOD

AND CHRIST

THAT IS THE WAY IT HAS TO BE

IT MAY NOT BE

THE WAY YOU WANT IT TO BE

BUT

THE WILL OF THE ONE

IS THE WILL OF THE SON

AND THE SON RULES

IN THE PLACE OF THE FATHER

AND SO

YOU CAN GO NO FARTHER

NO

NO

NO

NO

GIVE IT UP!

****spoken word***

THE SENTENCE YOU SPOKE

IS WAY LESS THAN THE SENTENCE

SPOKEN IN RETURN

WHATEVER THE DIFFERENCE IS

YE SHALL SUFFER IT.

[HAHNEIHAH!]
