Blackball

All God's Children

Blackball


it was really just like we had no choice 
I was emotionally naked 
'Til I found my voice 
And the forgotten source 
Of this mainstream funk poured over me 
And turned out to be junk 
But of all the blood that I've found 
On my hands 
Just a symbol of the past 
Like a crushed tin can 
Like fuel for the fire 
It burns higher and higher 
Tear the roof off the sucker 
For a thousand fans 

And I said don't you 
Even think about holdin' me down 
Holdin' me down 

Well, everybody said that opposties attract 
And I never could believe cuz 
it was never on track 
And all the broken pieces, 
they gather in one place 
And all we really wanted was a smile 
on our face Like Cheers, 
I want to go where everybody knows my name 
And settle in a little town 
where everyone's the same 
But I'm a preacher and poet and I want to 
Let 'em know, got love, I gotta show it 
And the word, I gotta sow it 

Please believe me for real when I tell you 
Everything will be okay 
You're gonna find out, you're gonna find out 
When all God's children come together
