Name: Via Dolorosa
Duration: P00H02M58S
Description: The name comes from the actual historical path Jesus walked to his death... Translated it means "way of sorrows". With this song, I parallel his walk, with the walk of black people throughout history. (look for the hidden meanings)

lyrics

VERSE 1
The hurt that in my heart, feeds the culture to my mind
Nothings here, nothings here, nothings real…. everything is real
The lynching of my soul, but you couldn't kill me if you tried
You can stab, you can shoot, you can burn… no I’ll never die
(the proverb) They tried to bury us… not knowing who we were
We’re seed for the world, teaching all over the world (Ms. Holiday)
Lord the southern trees (Ms. Holiday) bear a strange fruit
Blood all over the leaves, dripping down to the root
Theres nothing here, here for me… close my eyes patiently
Count to three, now I’m far away
Don’t try to smear what you’ve never known, what you've never known
Because one day you’ll reap all the things you've sown, because now we are grown
Don’t for get you planted us….

CHORUS
Via Dolorosa…
Make me feel hurt, make me feel pain
Make me walk the shame, I will rise again (x2)
