THE REVEREND WILLIAM BURK - My Soul lyrics
rate me[Intro: The Reverend William Burk]Yes, yesHarmonious, melodious tracks to drop knowledge on"Perfection is a road, not a destination" by Burk HudsonPay attentionYeah, comin through, comin throughIt's B-U-R-K, all day, every day, ah, check itAbout to drop some science, the science of lifeComin through, one time, yoOne time, check it out, yo[The Reverend William Burk]It's the stormy weather storyteller, so light some candlesAnd gather round the microphone, I tell you 'bout my battlesIn all the places that my soul has traveled in existenceBefore it landed in this life form during this instanceI seen the Christians battle the Jews during the inquisitionI seen Moses stand by the bush and have his visionI seen Hitler go on his mission to rule the worldI seen a cracker blow up a church and kill four little girlsI seen the cowboys down to kill off all the IndiansI seen brothers that's innocent serving life sentencesI seen the European commit genocide with weaponryThen try to justify it with "Manifest Destiny"I seen slave masters rape African womenAnd hang 'em from a tree the next day in front of their childrenThat's only the beginning, the things I seen livin on this earthIn my different forms of life and my different times of birthI've seen a slave warn his master about a revoltThen the master made the traitor (?) throatThinkin that he get his freedom, but he won'tCause then the master hung him from a rope and took his last bit of hopeI seen a brother dying from AIDS from stickin needles in his veinsSo many I can't even remember namesI seen a Somalian girl starvin, her father was robbinStealin fruits outta gardens in order to surviveYou would be surprised by the things people do to stay aliveIn this cold world it's "Do or die!", look me in the eyeAnd you can see my soul, it's old, it's been around the globeAnd see things unfold, as the stories are told[Chorus: The Reverend William Burk]Perfection is a road, not a destinationMy soul is old, everytime I live I gettin educationEvery different situation forces me to growAnd every different manifestation lets me know thatPerfection is a road, not a destinationMy soul is old, everytime I live I gettin educationEvery different situation forces me to growAnd every different manifestation lets me know[The Reverend William Burk]See, this is temporary, it's a scary thought, but it's very trueAnd even though they bury you, it doesn't mean your life is throughThere's billions of situations that we haven't gotten toCause everything's a lesson, livin in harmonyWith the universe is heaven, I'm a GodAnd my home is where my heart is, I find my way regardlessI'm travelin the farthest that I can, I'm not a man with a soulI'm a soul in a man, I might be here againOr maybe my reality will be within another galaxyTo raise another family and have a different energyAnd live a different destiny, and be the best that I can beMy soul transcends the limits of life in this centuryIt's kinda deep, but we gotta get beyondBecause I'm talkin about living life in different eonsWe won't even be human beings, we'll be manifestationsOf life we never imagine within our wildest dreamsI've seen black Queens turn in to crack fiendsI've seen black Kings working harder than machinesEveryday of their lifes, specifically to surviveWithin the system, we gotta make decisions about the wayThat we livin and envision something betterWe're fallin like a feather instead of stickin togetherDurin' the stormy weather, with a long way to goBecause the soul lives forever, the soul lives forever, the soul lives forever[Chorus]
