Freedom Atlast

Its hard nowadays for immigrants like me

I would work hard then get depressed as could be

Im in the fields picking cotton.

Once i get tired the white man would yell "Keep working Nigga!"

I refused to obey, he got his whip

That was when i couldn't take it anymore. I just got sick.

Then i was saying to myself,

"Jesus take me now" for the white man is beating me down because I'm to exhausted to pick and plow.

Can you here me now?

Im begging on my knees for you

to help me get through what I'm going through

Its heartbreaking that i cant even read nor write nor teach my future kids how to live the life

That they took from me.

I'm tired, my feet hurt, i was whipped like they did Jesus and yet i'm still alive.

I guess you can say I survived because this is the only way "to" survive.

I pray that one day, we would make it to the promise land and get treated with dignity not like property, and we'd all sing "Freedom Atlast"

This is only a test and one day we will all pass.
