Gods Cabinet
Loneliness gave birth to me, Love shunned me, life rejected me, my soul ugly black is the skin I'm in/
wounded, uneducated, mistreated, forbidden, black is the skin I’m in/back sting from lashes, mouth full of blood it hurt to breathe, it hurts to breath/
my knees are weak but my feet keep marching because they chasing niggas down claiming freedom wit a nuse for every nigga that think they have it/
Men with hate filled hearts pursue on horses wearing whites robes and mask and big guns to match it/
urn full of my fathers ashes/
when I was young he asked me if I couldn't see I wasn't going to shit! So I went and got glasses/
my mother fought him till the day he got in that vase and cursed his name even after she hoped her words were the flames to burn that bastard/
they told me seek refuge in a place called Gods cabinet right inside the Devils woods so make sure I don't pass it/
knock 7 times and recite a verse from the gospel Hebrew 13 vs 6/
I slowed down because the air got heavy the grass got thick and I had a hunger that only the heavens could fix/
they warn bout these woods said walk lightly so the devil don't hear you/
camoufloge so the trees don't give you/ and if you come across an animal it's simply over for you/
I could hear there blood thirsty dogs barking sounding closer and closer/
they've been train to fiend for negro blood like sweet honey nectar/
foaming at the mouth teeth sharp as knives rip through flesh with no effort/
but white folk ain't been this far out of these woods/
come to think of it they don't know the Devil uses the ground as a bed and the fog for blanket/
I knew couldn't stay here and hide I'd be gone for good/
I had to use the last of my strength to make it to Gods cabinet/
stay low and run light I could hear my heart beating faster now/
stay low and run light hoping my feet don't make a sound/
stay low and run light oh no they might have tracked my foot steps on the ground/stay low and run bow! Gun shot flew across my head/
bow! Second one went off nd there's warm blood dripping down my leg/
I start worming on the ground cuz if a third one went off I'd surely be dead/
come out nigger come out he said/
*click* all good sense up nd ran from my body like it went to get help/
I turn to my back to find his gun pointing at my chest/
then puts his gun through the hole in my leg twisting and twisting and ask me how it felt/
you think your pa left enough space in that vase for you boy/
he said as he's stepping on my balls with a malicious grin/
finding nostalgia in my screams as if they were an old tune his mother used to sing/
he drags me up against a tree points his gun to my head nd say I'm going to blow your brains out nigger/
at that moment as I was going to breathe my last breath the devil came out appearing as a big black figure/
fast and nimble waisting no step bites on his collar swinging him breaking his neck/
comes over sniffing as if I were next/
then I remember what pa said a bear can't kill what's already dead/
so i lay there lifeless/
i squint open one eyes to see him walk away back into the woods until he vanished/
that's how I made it to Gods cabinet.
