Analysis of THE SPIRIT RAPS WITH ME
Barry Green Jr 1973 (Florida)
THE SPIRIT RAPS WITH ME
Hey its your Poetic Messenger coming here
Ya know I'm not about to tickle your ear
America it's time for you to smell the coffee
The Devil's selling you poisoned toffee
Like the fruit that he poisoned Eve
It's a lie only meant to decieve
Your unity is hidden catipulation
True unity has but one stipulation
Stand under Liberty's tree
By the Hill of Calvary
This is an echo of rhapsody
And the Holy Spirit raps with me
You cry that you want to be free
Yet you want to burn Liberty's tree
To grow liberty and the church need blood
You keep pushing this Land is gonna flood
We claim that God is our trust
Yet deny God by our hate and lust
You dance with the Devil and laugh
Daring God to unleash His Wrath
Killing children in convenience name
So much bloodshed, we can't be the same
This is an echo of rhapsody
And the Holy Spirit raps with me
Devil better get your filthy hands
Off this gem of Liberty's lands
You've got no legitimate claim
To a nation founded on Jesus name
We are the light God set on a hill
How dare you defy the Father's will
We aren't a trophy for you to capture
But a stronghold of Faith until the Rapture
So take a seat, you are beaten
Got a message for the people you're cheated
This is an echo of rhapsody
And the Holy Spirit raps with me
America a giant lie you've been sold
Not all that glitters is real gold
You gave up freedom to be a slave
Yet beat your chest saying you're brave
You give up faith for "freedom" to sin
That's the path for bondage to begin
This is the time you've got to choose
And destruction of all if you refuse
Follow the Devil after Sin's lusts
Or shout once Again "In God we Trust!"
This is an echo of rhapsody
And the Holy Spirit raps with me
AMEN

About this poem
31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you fre 33 They answered him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be set free?” 34 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. 35 Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. 36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
