The Preacher
Soulful Reflections: Unveiling the Blues Man's Tale and the Preacher's Song
Lyrics
You don't have the soul that the blues man brings
You lack the depth and emotional resonance that a blues musician brings.
You don't have the story that the preacher sings
You lack the life experiences and narrative that a preacher communicates through song.
Playing all day let it take it's course
Engaging in music throughout the day, allowing it to unfold naturally.
Because the magic dies when its being forced
True magic in music fades when it is artificially manipulated or forced.
No place to be but a story to tell
Not confined to a specific place but possessing a compelling story to share.
They say you can't play the blues unless you've been to hell
Playing the blues requires having faced hardships and challenges.
This music should be what breaks it all
Music has the power to break barriers and unite people.
To bridge the gap so we don't fall
Music should bridge gaps to prevent societal downfall.
Into the trap where we each come from
Warning against falling into the traps of prejudice and racism from one's background.
Prejudice daughter racist son
Highlighting the negative consequences of passing on prejudiced beliefs to the next generation.
It's getting old
Expressing weariness with repetitive issues.
I'm getting tired of what I keep getting told
Frustration with hearing the same discouraging messages repeatedly.
I don't want to be a thief in the night
Rejecting the idea of causing harm or trouble stealthily.
But if you play with feel
Advocating for playing music with genuine emotion and sensitivity.
Play with soul
Emphasizing the importance of playing with soul rather than technical perfection.
Who's going to care if these hands can't play it right
Questioning the significance of flawless technique if the music lacks emotional depth.
No my anger can't compare to that
Admitting that personal anger doesn't compare to deeper struggles.
No I don't bare the scars just wear the hat
Not bearing physical scars but wearing the symbolic hat of experience.
Devil and his naked tongue
Referring to the devil and his deceptive speech.
When will that seize to run
Questioning when the influence of deceit will cease.
And you might say what gives me the right
Addressing the right to speak about a problem even if not directly affected.
To preach about a problem I don't have to fight
Questioning the necessity of turning a blind eye to societal problems.
But why should I turn a blind eye
Rejecting apathy and indifference in the face of social issues.
For this mess to still be rusting when I die
Expressing a desire for societal issues to be resolved before one's death.
Its getting old
Reiterating weariness with recurring problems.
I'm getting tired of what I keep getting told
Expressing fatigue with continuous exposure to discouraging messages.
I don't want to be a thief in the night
Rejecting the idea of causing harm or trouble stealthily (repeated).

Play with soul
