Текст песни Elders Toils - Seeymoore Bell

(How come you got better with patients) yeah
(Claimed six cities over patients) saw some patients
Church fires, hangings, it's including this an illusion
Adding confusion, what are we doing?
Aspects great, others in ruin (tell me what to find, are you not alright?)

The courage to go first
To overcome fears, strike tears
Push through epithets and sniffs
Blaze trails to new frontiers
Soar the heights with few to no peers
A legacy left for many a year
Racism, prejudice, menace and leers
Reverse the laws that make them disappear
So we can hear harsh and hear more clear

Minds horrified at what we really hear
The harsh reality, no modality
Intellectual chess, move mentality
Customs and formality, or triviality
Yeah, I bet it was challenging
Ease the pain through the dance
The mean stares, the evil glance
If I fail now, and don't take a stance

When will someone else get a chance?
The compliments, the pats on the back
Or feeling people come and sit with me and chat
No matter how great, will I be told that I lack?
Be told no, even when I'm proper and exact
Speak elegantly with tact
When I enter room, will I come under attack?
When one goes first, we push aside all of that

Let me make it plain, the struggle and the strain
What then remains? Call me crazy and insane
Great ideas for impact and change
Cancel, kill, perverse our names
Add injury and insult to shame
The overwhelming demands, insidious plans
Call me every name with the exception of man
Camouflage, claims
Assault groups of elders that sharecropped the land
Repel the insults of man
Praying, hold on to his unchanging hand

The pressure to succeed, raise hurdles to impede
Really wanna say, forget it and leave
But I dig deep, I trust and believe
Haven't done all the stand, I stand indeed
So sad so many people wanna see us hurt and bleed
(How come you got better with patients?) We be royalty, decree
Trust God to give me what I need, to lead
To get in the ring and I fight like Kree
Throw your sacrifice in word and deed
Plan today so others may reap
To reap from your seed

Yeah, my boots have been soil and respect the elders' toils
My boots have been soil and respect the elders' toils
My boots have been soil and respect the elders' toils
My boots have been soil and respect the elders' toils
My boots have been soil
