It started a long time

it started a long time

it started a long time ago

it started with a whip

and a man went down

a boot on his head as he laid on the ground

but he didn't die

he got up

and start walking down that road

and the man was a black man

the man was a proud black man

try-y-ing to go home

and the man is hurt

his bloods on the ground

he needs some help

but he's got no-one around

so he digs down to his soul

and sings a song that goes a little somethin' like this

and the devil was there

the devil was there

you better believe the devil was there that day

but the devil wasn't walking with the black man

no the devil wasn't walking with the proud black man

no the devil was wiping the blood off his boots that day

and I can guarantee you brothers and sisters

within a hundred and ten percent accuracy baby

that jesus was walking with the black man that day

that's the birth of the blue-es
