we
have
walked
down
this
road before
yet
we
feel
the
scars of war
thus
we
no longer
wear
these
clothes of death
that
i
must
confess
while
death
shakes me
to
the core
lord
we
have
walked
down this
road before
Jamal Upshaw Aug 2
on
the
trail of love
to
stay alive
from
a
pack of wolves
that
howl and cry
oh
lord
i
know
that
i
will survive

Kiss you like a flower
Hold you like the world
Love you like no tomorrow
If you were my Queen of the Nile
Rich brown caramel skin
Hair glows like fire in the wind
You and I shall rule the world
Lord, send thee a Cleopatra woman

No, heart, no brains, and no courage
Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears
Allow me to introduce the Queen of Truth
Your majesty, you are the fairness of them all
Such an honor to be your Lord Chancellor
Thus, I beckon your call
Your Highness and sweet gratefulness
I take great pleasure
In serving you, my lady
Indeed, I am at your service,
Day or night, and
Your wish is my command, and
I wish you longevity

One by one,
They push
This dagger
Through their souls

Montague and Capulet
Star-crossed lovers

So deeply in love
We cross the stars

Claim that
Love is just
A test

We married
In secret

Mirror in,
The sky
Wipe those
Tears from
Your blue eyes,
With your
Red scarf
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah,
Amem
