Intro

I'm that **** that never eat first

I'm the **** when master beat me

I got beat worse

I'm that **** that watch my wife and my daughter get raped

I'm the **** that was made to sit there calmly

Afraid of being whipped to death

If I didn't keep a smile on my face

I'm that **** that was cash traded

I'm that **** that was hung

I'm that **** that was mutilated

I'm that **** on the run

I'm that **** that was executed

For something as simple as

Speaking to a white lady

My tongue ripped out of my mouth

If master found out I was reading book pages

I'm that **** that was trained by the Willy Lynch letters

I'm that **** that shed the blood crossing the bridge

Named for Edmund Pettus

I'm that **** that the KKK drowned

In the Alabama river

My body and soul is a Black Egyptian king

But I'm trapped in the mind of field ****
