lyrics

First, it started on this wood ship
Traveling I survived with a slight grip
Lost so many fellows on the long path
Felt so much pain to my smooth back
As I arrive on this strange land
Fully at the mercy of this pale hand
Haven't had a good meal in a couple years
Hydrated by the taste of my own tears
Getting accustomed to these strange ways
Tryna find strength in these pained days
Held helpless by this cruel gun
Looking forward to my new son
As my child enters this sick place
Before I leave I take one look at his face
Hope one day he'll be a strong man
But Maybe not much more
But nothing less than

On the gallows I hear a voice from among the fray
Am I losing the fight or is the fight losing me yeah
On the gallows I hear a voice from among the fray
Am I losing the fight or is the fight losing me yeah

Don’t know much behind what I see
But grandmas of the old Coromantee
There's only one book I'm allowed to read
Writing of my dreams of being freed
Had a vision as I ran away
Only to return was the only way
Take some with me before I go
And spread this truth that I love and know
One night a new message came to me
With their own sins I shall slay my enemies
My people will strike at first sign
August 21st victory will be mine
Hopefully it'll go
To all those low
And free all them
From the ties that bind
Straight from God to my lips
Given to me by the solar eclipse

On the gallows I hear a voice from among the fray
Am I losing the fight or is the fight losing me yeah
On the gallows I hear a voice from among the fray
Am I losing the fight or is the fight losing me yeah


As we traveled from house to house
Me and my seventy
The more we began to rouse
Through my violent purgatory
As I end quartered and flayed
Who will pay with my descent
No ones coming to my aid
This is where I end my legacy

On the gallows I hear a voice from among the fray
Am I losing the fight or is the fight losing me yeah
On the gallows I hear a voice from among the fray
Am I losing the fight or is the fight losing me yeah
