AMERKIN

 

I HAVE LIVED THE LIVES OF A
THOUSAND MEN BARRIED DEEP BENETH
THEIR SOULS ARE LIKE A BATTLES CRY
OF PLANTATIONS RELIEF
CAUSE I KNOW WHO I AM, I AM A MAN
I AM AMERCAN I TRIED TO TELL YOU
BEFORE MY FRIEND I’LL SEE YOU AGAIN
SEE YOU AGAIN MY FRIEND

 

DON’T YOU KNOW WHO I AM?
IF YOU’RE MY FRIEND
AND YOU’RE MY KIN
WE’RE AMERIKIN

 

IT WASN’T SO LONG AGO
WE WERE ON THE PATH
THE PATH CALLED THE GLORY ROAD
OUR LEADERS TAKEN AWAY
MUCH TO SOON PATH
IS STILL UNKNOWN
IT’S UP TO US THE COVENENT
TO BRING IT ON,BRING IT ON HOME
DON’T YOU KNOW WHO I AM?
IF YOU’RE MY FRIEND
AND YOU’RE MY KIN,
WE’RE AMERIKIN

 

I HAVE LIVED THE LIVES
OF TEN THOUSAND MEN
BARRIED DEEP BENETH
THEIR SCARES ARE VERY APPARENT
ON MY SLEEVE
DON’T YOU KNOW WHO I AM?

JUST NOT THE ONE

 

I WANNA BE IN LOVE
SO BAD THAT IT HURTS
MAYBE I’M JUST NOT THE ONE
I WANT SOMEONE TO SPEND
MY LIFETIME WITH
AN UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

 

THAT’S SOMETIMES EASIER
SAID THAN DONE
BUT I AM LIVING PROOF
OF A LOVE UNFULFILLED
MAYBE IT’S SOMETHING ABOUT ME THAT CHASES THEM AWAY OR
THE FEAR OF COMMITMENT
KEEPS ME LYING IN STATE

 

I WANT TO BRING INTO THIS WORLD
SOMEONE THAT LOOKS JUST LIKE ME
SOMEONE SO IMPORTANT THAT I
COULD SHARE A LIFE
ETERNAL LIGHT PARADISE

 

I WANNA BE IN LOVE SO BAD
SO BAD THAT IT HURTS
