Inspired by, and written on the 7 day of the Bahá'í Fast 2010.

Soul Food

if you need somethin’ funky to embellish ya fast
indeed Tallisman be the right fella to ask
that humanity might see the light—i relish the task
bandage the rash. Fight smite & manage the wrath
to administer the balm & it’s a hell of a salve
that I might bask in the warmth ‘thout the armour & mask
sippin’ wine of astonishment I won’t sell ya the flask
but I’ll show you the Source of course I’ll hand you the cask
‘cause it’s yours for the takin’ if you treadin’ the path
with ya head in the game then you ahead of the pack!
there are the days of abstinence enjoined
of praise remembrance, test—gird up ya loins
for the sake of His beauty and for love of his cause
we take up this duty to root out our flaws
to raise the foundation make them pillars stand true
rest at sunset partake of some soul food

we need some Soul food to break the fast
take that stick-to-ya-ribs food… the kind that’s gonna last
fill up my plate yo! don’t make me wait bros!
we in the midst of the re-vamp and we can’t be late yo!

Everybody needs some soul food… (yeah)
Everybody needs some soul food… (yeah)

replenished by the Greatest Name souls nourished
cleansed with the purest flame. All my soldiers stand sure as
the plan unfolds an’ the old dismantles
an’ the Most withstands foes that oppose get mangled
yo! we disband those your souls the ambrose
& immune to scandals and scams of those vandals
& as the plan grows the troops we expand those
snakes they get trampled beneath the boots of angles
& proof’s the mantle that upholds Truths channeled
& flows from the Most to the meek as seen through history’s annals
we in the last throws the last gasp & know that
as the Truth unfolds it’s vibrant as Van Goghs!
feed ya soul

we need some Soul food to break the fast
take that stick-to-ya-ribs food… the kind that’s gonna last
fill up my plate yo! don’t make me wait bros!
we in the midst of the re-vamp and we can’t be late yo!

Everybody needs some soul food… (yeah)
Everybody needs some soul food… (yeah)
