Reverend William Burke - My Soul lyrics

Artist: The Reverend William Burk Album: Insurrection Song: My Soul Typed by: King Kane [Intro: The Reverend William Burk] Yes, yes Harmonious, melodious tracks to drop knowledge on "Perfection is a road, not a destination" by Burk Hudson Pay attention Yeah, comin through, comin through It's B-U-R-K, all day, every day, ah, check it About to drop some science, the science of life Comin through, one time, yo One time, check it out, yo [The Reverend William Burk] It's the stormy weather storyteller, so light some candles And gather round the microphone, I tell you 'bout my battles In all the places that my soul has traveled in existence Before it landed in this life form during this instance I seen the Christians battle the Jews during the inquisition I seen Moses stand by the bush and have his vision I seen Hitler go on his mission to rule the world I seen a cracker blow up a church and k** four little girls I seen the cowboys down to k** off all the Indians I seen brothers that's innocent serving life sentences I seen the European commit genocide with weaponry Then try to justify it with "Manifest Destiny" I seen slave masters rape African women And hang 'em from a tree the next day in front of their children That's only the beginning, the things I seen livin on this earth In my different forms of life and my different times of birth I've seen a slave warn his master about a revolt Then the master made the traitor slit the leader's throat Thinkin that he get his freedom, but he won't Cause then the master hung him from a rope and took his last bit of hope I seen a brother dying from AIDS from stickin needles in his veins So many I can't even remember names I seen a Somalian girl starvin, her father was robbin Stealin fruits outta gardens in order to survive You would be surprised by the things people do to stay alive In this cold world it's "Do or die!", look me in the eye And you can see my soul, it's old, it's been around the globe And see things unfold, as the stories are told [Hook: The Reverend William Burk] Perfection is a road, not a destination My soul is old, everytime I live I gettin education Every different situation forces me to grow And every different manifestation lets me know that Perfection is a road, not a destination My soul is old, everytime I live I gettin education Every different situation forces me to grow And every different manifestation lets me know [The Reverend William Burk] See, this is temporary, it's a scary thought, but it's very true And even though they bury you, it doesn't mean your life is through There's billions of situations that we haven't gotten to Cause everything's a lesson, livin in harmony With the universe is heaven, I'm a God And my home is where my heart is, I find my way regardless I'm travelin the farthest that I can, I'm not a man with a soul I'm a soul in a man, I might be here again Or maybe my reality will be within another galaxy To raise another family and have a different energy And live a different destiny, and be the best that I can be My soul transcends the limits of life in this century It's kinda deep, but we gotta get beyond Because I'm talkin about living life in different eons We won't even be human beings, we'll be manifestations Of life we never imagine within our wildest dreams I've seen black Queens turn in to crack fiends I've seen black Kings working harder than machines Everyday of their lifes, specifically to survive Within the system, we gotta make decisions about the way That we livin and envision something better We're fallin like a feather instead of stickin together Durin' the stormy weather, with a long way to go Because the soul lives forever, the soul lives forever, the soul lives forever [Hook]
