Don't Taste The Fruit
If I had one wish it would be to go back in time
I would walk right up to Adam and Eve and open up their eyes
I wouldn’t go as the serpent but as an angel in disguise
I’d say unto them “don’t eat the fruit, please try and refrain”
Because if you do, you will bring forth suffering and pain
Women will miscarry and endure the pain of childbirth
The heavens will open up rains and end the earth
However, the earth will be again
Like the Phoenix rising from the ashes
We will all speak one tongue then we will
Be divided into classes
We will all be men of color until one will claim to be the master
When that day comes, there will be legions of disaster
They will reign over the years living off others blood, sweat, and tears
There will be a king and his name will be Martin
He will do everything in his power to stop them
There will be no resolution
Because Martin faced execution
All men of color will be under observation
They will be a majority but still a small part of the nation
Men will suffer within for the rest of their days
Because of fornication and misbehavin’
There will be a plague of AIDS
But my father is a God of mercy and wrath
Adam, please don’t taste the fruit
And this desire too will pass
You have the world in your hands
If you do not choose
You will curse the people and condemn the land
In the end you will lose
So as your guardian angel and guiding light
I only speak the truth
I say to you “please make things right”
“do not I beg, taste of the fruit”
