when i’m with you i feel like im on cloud nine
you’re the only one that understood things weren’t fine
you told me i was special
uh huh
yeah, right
special as in like the 20 other girls you talk to
every night
i came in innocent and naive
thinking that you would actually
put in some effort at least
to get closer with me
but no, hell no
you put all those hoes
right in front of me
i was your priority
and now i’m your last
what happened to our past
our bonds and memories
apparently mean nothing?
you know what? i’m sorry
i’m sorry that i wasn’t enough to be
the one that you said you’ll value for eternity

i scarce had strength to speak
the faint beam of hope was diminishing
a tear has found its way down my cheek
as every one of my limbs trembled
at times i would rise up
only to fall down in fear
alone in a prison
of inhumanity and tears
my mother had told me
"grow in grace"
yet how can i forgive the ones
that suffers our fellow slaves?
but in the darkness
i find my comfort and relief
in the songs
that my mother had sung to me
from the sorrows deep within our hearts
the tales of woe
a testimony against slavery
can be found in every tone
the lyrics drowned my sorrow
they were tones of loud, long, and deep;
The hearing of those wild notes
lit an ember of hope in me
my soul was set on fire
oh, if only i were free
oh, if only i could fly away
to the land of deliverance
My long-crushed spirit rose,
cowardice departed,
bold defiance took its place;
it was from this moment on
that i have decided
i shall no longer be
someone else's slave
