Black Revolutionist

Here I stand before you a black man, a poet 
a religious leader on the low, I represent the people
who want freedom but are too scared too fight for hope
I'm America's nightmare but Dr. Kings Dream
I'm sumthin this world has never ever seen
you see people wanna change but don't wanna battle
I'm here to abuse freedom of speech like
disobedient children gettin beat with a paddle
I'm here to put my people on the map
without the strike of a fist, I'm one of God's angels
who was lurkin in the shadows under the abyss
I got the patience of the old wit a young mans soul
I'm the man wit the gavel in an all black robe
I reside on the throne blessed, sanctified, and gifted
I'm that perfect example of what the 12 tribes 
of Israel are spiritually missing
I'm Nelson Mandela in a jail cell when he was losing his mind
I represent every positive rap artist 
that didn't get promoted or signed 
I'm a suicide attempt just before thinking the thought
I'm a two time felon riding wit a brick of coke
gettin pulled over by the police about to get caught
I'm the one who's gonna stop this black holocaust
before the African American race is extinct 
I'm the thought you second guessed 
the moment you missed because you blinked 
I'm Saul on the road to Damascus being used by the Lord
I'm Heaven itself rejoicing when the doctors cut my umbilical cord
I'm every Christian on the face of the earth 
who thought they were about to lose it
I'm God's child, The Lord's Messenger 
and I am The Black Revolutionist
