Sanguine

I’ve been trying to be who
I already am
I’ve been trying to go where I
I've already been
I’ve been trying to do what’s
Already been done
I guess you could say that we already won
We already won

(w-w-w-w-w-w-w-won)
Which I'm already that
I'm already black
(w-w-w-w-w-w-w-wonderful)

Verse one:
One hundred percent
Cannot front or pretend
A lot under the tent
Did not come to condemn
Just come as a friend
No other intent
Must run and repent
Got not other defense
I tried jumping the fence
Every other offense
Couple dozen attempts
Couldn’t cover the rent
If life a lease that was lent
Then I’m a need to extend
My work come and it went
But never 'nuff to ascend
I be wanting to sprint
Trying to grab what I can't
Got my heart in a splint
Think I’m getting the hint
I am never without
All I want is within
God is not in the clouds
God is under my skin
Heaven is in the hood
And hell is already here
If you haven’t been aware then tell me where have you been
The word I wouldn’t amend
And men I wouldn’t commend
Until I get to the end
My sentiment
Sanguine

I’ve been trying to be who
I already am
I’ve been trying to go where I
I've already been
I’ve been trying to do what’s
Already been done
I guess you could say that we already won
We already won

(w-w-w-w-w-w-w-won)
Which I'm already that
I'm already black

Verse two:
When you look in the mirror what do you seed?
Indeed someone in need for someone to intercede
I just want to believe
I ust want to be free
Who doesn’t you bugging
I mean what color blood do you bleed?
I’ve been under a heavy cloud
Feeling like it’s bout to burst right about now
Sky torn asunder when it thunders very loud
God gon’ work it out might not tell me how
From the barrier to the burial
Burdens be unbearable
Do not panic
If you got planted
What if God planned it
Here we grow
But maybe not though
I mean maybe it’s just a pot hole
Either way
Andale
By the way don’t gotta wait for holidays to holler hey
I need to know that I’m not alone
I need a lift not a loan
I need a friend not a phone
Thank God big brother broke bread not a bone
The rain gon’ fall on the casa
I’m just trying to play my role on the roster
Rain I sad I dread like a rasta
But ain’t no gospel without Golgotha
