Emancipation, Samuel Asher, 2012 I’ve been living on the highway, been living
off the land Walking on the shoulder, no place to take my stand Nothing in my pocket; ain’t
looking for a hand Just looking for the gateway to reach the promised land. I went on down
to Jenny’s, but Jenny wasn’t there Her mama saw me coming. She sat me in a chair. “You
can have your milk and honey, but I’ll be drinking gin.” Then she walked into the
bedroom and said, “Won’t you come on in.” Emancipation Freedom has a price It ain't pretty, and
it ain't nice Emancipation There ain’t no going back no more. When you see the snow
is coming, it’s past the time to seed You can take it on tomorrow, you don’t have
to take the lead When there’s fire in your belly, don’t take more than you need You
gotta sip your liquor and *** your weed Emancipation… Freedom has a price It ain't
pretty, and it ain't nice Emancipation There ain’t no going back no more. They’ve
been shooting young and old ones, playing hard and mean Coming from the backside, never
coming clean But I’ll find them where they’re hiding, in the shadows in between With spit
on my bullets and fight in my jeans Any number that you choose, you may win or you may lose Take
as many as you please, we don’t make no guarantees When there’s fire in your belly,
don’t take more than you need Just sip your liquor and *** your weed. We went up to
the mountain, we felt the trumpets’ sound Smoke in the heavens, and fire in the ground We
heard a streak of lightening, and saw the thunder’s roar And a thousand generations,
fell witness to the Lord When you see the snow is coming, it’s past the time to seed You
can take it on tomorrow, you don’t have to take the lead When there’s fire in your
belly, don’t take more than you need You gotta sip your liquor and *** your weed
Emancipation Freedom has a price It ain't pretty, and it ain't nice Emancipation There
ain’t no going back no more.
