Hanging By A Thread

Hanging by a thread I'm not a one who waits to be misled Hate that I'm restating what was said?  Excessive blood shed I fainted in the hall Hanging by a thread in a painting on the wall I tried to make it fall when I came to Thinking of the slaves who Got whipped then got told to go and make food Stay true and the honest will see Delivery Even from the likes of Simon Legree Tried to hide it from me But the Lord brings fact Has our story just started?  Well thats exactly how they act If you back track deep into the truth Picking up cotton was not the only thing we'd do Indoctrinating you through how far we'd came to be I promise my people we didn't start in slavery I've been waiting patiently through this time intermission Asking God to save the weak through divine intervention While I'm hoping we continue to divide inhibitions And continuously repent 'cause we could die any minute
