I fell in love and when I did it was one sided. You never loved me back but I didn’t expect you to. You couldn’t love yourself because of all the things done to you. The lies the beatings the harsh words ripping through your skin like a leather whip down you back and up your legs. Nobody sees the King that I see. The strength in your eyes. The determination in your walk. You are my King. You’re the ruler of my land, tell me why can’t you see. You give life but not just to me.
My strong black King why can’t you see. The life you give but not just to me. My King I give you my all but you ignore my pleas. Let down your walls and let my love put you at ease. My strong black King.
These streets are filled with the grime of your lost dreams and my tears. My King let me in to feel the warmth of your skin. I’ll love you forever if that’s what it takes but please don’t let me go for I need to be the one that makes your wall break. You are my King, the one that I love. The King with the broken heart and unseen scars on his skin. Let me care for you like no other has, my King please let me in. You are my King. You’re the ruler of my land, tell me why can’t you see. You give life but not just to me.
My strong black King why can’t you see. The life you give but not just to me. My King I give you my all but you ignore my pleas. Let down your walls and let my love put you at ease. My strong black King.
