BEFORE WE

                                                BY   KING ANDRE' TEASDELL

BEFORE WE WERE BLACK...
HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT OF THAT?
BEFORE ANY RACE HAD A FACE...
BEFORE THIS EARTH WAS SUCH A PECULIAR PLACE; 
THERE WAS NO SUCH DISTINCTION,
BECAUSE MAN WAS NOT THE MEASURE OF ANYTHING!!! 

IN SILENCE, WE ALL EXISTED, AS THE ELEMENTS ENLISTED
EACH BEING TO A POSITION UNKNOWN IN SPACE...
AND ALL OF THIS BEFORE OUR THOUGHTS BECAME MISPLACED!!!

OH YEAH, IT'S ABOUT OUR GOD,
OF WHICH NONE NEED BE PLACED ON GUARD,
BECAUSE WITHIN HIS REALM
WE ALL HAD PERFECTED LACE.

THERE WAS BALANCE,
THERE WAS PEACE,
OF WHICH WE ONLY NEED RELEASE;
IF WE ALL COULD JUST DISCARD WHAT WON'T RELATE...
​TO THE LOVE, THAT HE FIRST PURPOSED FOR THE HUMAN RACE!!!

WE WERE SPIRIT WITHOUT A "BOD"
YET, IMBUED WITH THE GRACE OF GOD,
THAT PROTECTED EVERYTHING WITHOUT A TRACE...

BUT, EMBODIED WE HAVE BECOME, AND AS SUCH,
WE'VE BECOME AS SCUM,
IN COMPARISON TO THE LACE THAT GAVE US GRACE.

BUT, INSTEAD WE DON'T EMBRACE
THE BEAUTY OF THE LOVING PLACE,
THAT EXISTED WITHIN THE EMBODIMENT OF TRUE FAITH...

A PLACE WE ACTED OUT LOVE'S POWER
AND COULDN'T WAIT FOR ANY HOUR,
BECAUSE THE POWER WAS OF SUCH THAT MADE LIFE GREAT...

BUT, THIS WAS ALL BEFORE ANYONE COULD SEE A FACE...
​
​EXCEPT, THE LOVE OF THE FATHER'S JOY WITHIN THAT SPACE!!!

​​SO, WHERE  IS THE MIND OF MAN,
THAT SHOULD ACCEPT THE MASTER'S PLAN,
IF,  OF COURSE, WITHIN THIS RACE IT'S NOT TOO LATE!?!?

FOR,  IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE,
ALL THE EARTH WILL GO BYE, BYE...
WHETHER OR NOT,  WE GET UP AND FACE THE TRUTH OF FAITH...
THAT EXISTED BEFORE THE WORLD BECAME THIS PLACE.

BUT,  A PLACE THAT'S MADE BY LOVE
FROM THE LIFE GIVEN BY GOD
IS LESS DISTANT THAN ANY THOUGHT THAT CAN'T RELATE...
BECAUSE THE LIGHT OF GOD BEGINNING,
IS MORE TRUTH OF UNDERSTANDING
IF WE LOOK TO "THINK" OUR WORK HAS GONE TO WASTE!?!?

WE MUST REMEMBER, IT'S NOT TOO LATE,
CAUSE ONCE WE'RE GONE, TRUE LOVE WON'T WAIT...
FOR, THE SOUL WITHOUT THE BODY WILL SOON AWAKE...

BECAUSE OUR LIVING IS FAR MORE...
THAN THE FACE OF RACE!!!
