Black Man


Black Man, Black Man

God is a woman,

Jesus is a black man,

Now that I have your attention,

Time for all to face what they cannot withstand,

My dear Lord,

Please forgive me in using your name against the sworn sword,

I ask for the same forgiveness you granted the wolves in sheep clothing in the eight ward,

Black man, Black man,

The lost king,

Like a butterfly flying parallel from the midst of the ocean in the middle of nowhere,

Like in today’s society where they say it’s so fair,

Black King, Black King,

Let it ring,

He has found his crown and will let it forever sing
