Analysis of Glory days



Praises from the lips of captives
This land so native to us
It's necessary to know the history
No more we cry, The lord has redeemed us
The years dwindled, but god always kept us
My promise is the best I can be in life
So many forerunners died paying that price
Glory,Glory my burdens have been cast aside
You sit here looking down upon others
With arrogance and pride
Let freedom ring the spirit of X and King
Garvey ,Newton Issac or Huey
Live thru the youth
Holding the laws of constitution
Sacred hearts rebel martial cannibals
I forgive them for Ancestry abuse
The way they treated you like animals
The shackles unfastened
No longer a prisoner to gravity
Glory,I finally walk in freedom
