lyrics

I’m an African man but I got blood on my hands
I squeeze a hundred from a dollar now I’m making a stand
Here comes the story of a Christian soul, soul
I turned a blind eye for a sliver of pie
I got a son growing up so my tongue is tied
I had to do it, the devil made me do it

Ooh…
Ahh…

The river’s running wild and the siren’s going off
If I don’t get past this river’s pass I won’t be breathing no more
So come on down here and save my weary soul
Swing low, sweet chariot
Yeah I coming forth I’m coming forth I’m coming forth to carry me home

Ooh…
I got a, got a mind
Ahh…

I got a mind to do right…
I got a mind to live right…
I got a mind to sing right…

Ooh…
I got a, got a mind
Ahh…
