Early early, wake at dawn,
so dark now but not for long.
Walking walking, lost in thought,
the world the world, is caught.
See the steeple, hear the bell,
warning warning time for hell.
White men ride by in their carts,
look at us the lone, the dark.
Throw their stones at our people,
look down from their shining steeple.
Staring staring, full of hate,
watching waiting, we cant retaliate.
Warning warning, there’s the bell,
warning warning time for hell.
Now pull boy pull here comes the whipper,
pull boy pull, now break for the dipper.
Stop, stop, its time to go,
stop, stop, gotta sleep to sew.
Sleep for now, the day is done,
don’t hide my friend, don’t try to run.
Warning warning, there’s the bell,
warning warning time for hell.
Water water, in the gourd,
needed for the days accord,
Shift and move the barley corn,
look my friends a new days born.
Early early, wake at dawn
so dark now but not for long.
See the land, the grass, the trees,
look out kids, stay on your knees.
People people hear me now,
our thoughts and feelings are all sound.
We are not inferior,
were the new kings, me him and her.
And Jesus says that we’re all equal,
then why cant we pray at the temple?
I look and see these angry people,
and I know who’s the real evil.
Yet we’re the ones with nothing left,
living on what we’ll never get.
Standing in this sad subspace,
lost not found, we drop the race.
So watch, wait, delegate,
think, think and be awake.
Solve the problem, fix the doubt,
win the race and change the route.
I hate you, you hate me, in this world I can’t be free.
Warning warning there’s the bell,
warning warning time for hell.

I wrote this piece awhile ago, It's about slavery.
