harder

by

being

|
while

|
slaves

|
were

being

|
slaughtered

|
and

carted

|
and

|
to

barter.
|
|
Then
|
|
a
|
|
hurricane
|
|
came,
|
|
and
|
|
devastation
|
|
reigned
|
|
our

|
man
|
|
saw
|
|
his

|
future
|
|
drip,

|
down
|

put
|
|
a
|
|
pencil

temple,
|
|
connected
|
|
it
|
|
to
|
|
|
Answer
|
|
his

|
|
and
|
|
he
|
|
wrote
|
|
his
|
|
first
|
|
refrain
|
|
a
|
|
testament
|
|
to
|
|
his
|
|
pain.
|
|
Well,

the
|
|
word

|
|
to
|
|
send
|
|
him

"Get
