Genocide,

I was placed on the horizon But I stepped on my own coat tail My enslavers derailed me Cast my crown around my ankles This you say, right away You scorned me, enslaved me, became me Masked me, raped me, mock me, paraded me no liberty Hated me because you can You take from me because l am My life not negotiated Take my land, take my hands freedom for the next of the next generation Again, take my land, my name, my wife, my, my guilt, my children my life guilt You lay me out like an ole pure starch stuffed cotton What are you what am I I've taken the thorn from you and yours inside my side Drunken from the same tin cup of water you pass by For you see all peoples low and high are delivered from choices unholy , while I I am save and saved by Jesus... From Genocide
