Nat Turner

[Verse 1] Here I stand, a man not free Whip markers on my back, shackles on both feet Picking cotton in the stone heat Played along my soul keep for one day he came and told me In the year of 1831 I awoke at dawn To see his vision in the sun It seemed that the clouds parted tippling off his tongue And he said "My son, the revolution has begun" And with that, I knew the message was clear We'll kill the suppressor who kept us in prison for years Raped our women in laughter and tears Made us build their meal while they sit back in their chairs Late night, I chat with my peers, we build weapons No guns, we must slice them from neck to the ears With spears, so they can hear The pain of the people who are God's creation, not theirs [Refrain]x2 I'm the one that they don't teach you in class about I'm the one who ran up in the master's house Put a knife to his neck and then gagged his mouth Charged him for black murder, I'm Nat Turner [Verse 2] Through the darkness, we march like hellions They called it a massacre, I call a rebellion We moved quickly, with no time to spare Blood loss, leave no life to spare Women and children neither After we freed our brothers we burned down the house to ensure no survivors A horseback we rode, blood dripping from the hooves Head out 'till dawn, resist in the woods Then we attack again, ravish them The braids slashed against the master's plastic skin The murder was so passionate Screaming to the heavens, we would never ever go back again Word began to spread, up the violent mall That wolf walked the wicked into the side of God This was where the demise begins It was written in my tan, we all need to come to a violent end [Refrain]x2 [Verse 3] After two days of non-stop action we rested In the back-roads of a [?], you got hit by the night crescent It was here I began to fight my confessions Before I knew it was only a matter of time 'fore they catch us A house nigger got scared, ran to the county building Told them our whereabouts, then they beat him 'till they killed him In the starry night I saw the flames from the distance Attacked us while we slept, but this time we're different We fought back But the slaves told me the revolution would only stop if they caught Nat So again on horseback I rode, negate the chase Caught up with me eventually, had to face fate They hung me, kept my head as a souvenir Beat slaves to death as they were consumed with fear You got the uprising of blacks on happening, and attack further Because of the name Nat Turner [Refrain]x2
