pitch black sunrise

pitch black sunrise
  
i danced to touch da ground    
but they laughed at me    
  
say, "Dats right boy show us how niggas dance"  
one of 'em started on his guitar    
another da fiddle    
  
my body twitchin' like Sunday chicken    
fresh snapped neck    
  
i can still hear 'em all  
and da creek of da rope pulling dat limb    
though one's cut off my ear    
  
they wanted souvenirs  
things for they kids I reckon'    
i barely feel da blade takin' each toe    
  
da lil' gal smiles    
  
im choked out like midnight from da sky    
with it's stars too    
  
sky will be white again    
like da sheets that done dis to me    
  
Jesus didn't save me  
hope he does better by my chillin' cause    
I can't breathe
