Child of God

I know my way will let me fly away
Because
I know my wings develop every day
And since
I hear space, I'm the one to draw the play
We stay
Steady elevating in the way we operate

And see

I know my way will let me fly away
Because
I know my wings develop every day
And since
I hear space, I'm the one to draw the play
We stay
Steady elevating in the way we operate

The margins between freedom and their traps are slim strips
The martyrs for our freedom bore their backs for cracked whips
We're gunning for our freedom and we're heartless for a reason cause
The flutter of the heart will make you feel the clock tick
Tick tock
Mic check
The streets are lifeless
People living less life
Living more on life's stress
Your room's a damn mess
And you can hear the footsteps
You're preaching to the God
While the choir resets

I live at the intersection of privilege and oppression
We weave stories together. We are led storytellers
The garden taught me that I'm tempted by the light
The shine is so appealing but the glare can leave us blind

A hush settles lightly when the verdict is due
The people's broken hearts shine through
As if the bullet in the corpse hit a spark
And broke into a million pieces
And those pieces flung themselves into the souls of the heathen

I know my way will let me fly away
Because
I know my wings develop every day
And since
I hear space, I'm the one to draw the play
We stay
Steady elevating in the way we operate

And see

I know my way will let me fly away
Because
I know my wings develop every day
And since
I hear space, I'm the one to draw the play
We stay
Steady elevating in the way we operate

Say, I'm a woman's man
With no time for talk

Cause, i'm a music man
I mean around the clock

I'm not a preacher man
But I'm a child of god

Say, I'm a record man
Say, I'm a rising stock
