N**** Spirituals


the time when pedophiles come out are 10 mins away , its ten O Clock - do you know where your peace is ? protect yourself wisely . place the white sheet over your head slowly allow your eyes to bulge out in fear let the black man run run run forrest run forests never seemed so white white seemed to ring bells of NRA and KKK we're killing niggas slowly , see those negro sprituals wont seem to be helping them now now its time to bow our heads and pray for those who lost their souls tonight a negro family not to far from birmingham they were the Johnsons Harry was a tall man * chuclkes * , legs like cracked roots whipped lash by Hurricane Katrina winds he didn't know the future would be so bright red flames engulfed his sight he couldn't breathe moving effortless , he's effortlessly trying to breathe " Breath Harry Breath" he wheezes as he collapses on the kitchen floor its stained of chicken and Jesus sweet ol baby jesus save us from the demons that enthrough our insides save me from the slurs I sling and the ones I also sing these nigga spirituals dont seem to get us out of Paris this time please save me from the gangs take me away to the river where the water always ran cold and beautiful speak Harriet Tubman sotiries of lost feet and concealed ground take me down by the valley pick flowers, hold my hand look into my eyes and tell me you love me but how do you confront the man who is about to kill you your ten minutes are up you better run … run as fast as you can they're coming to get you *chuckle*
