lyrics

You try to move me to where you think ain’t, but I’m a revolutionary, not a painting of a saint.
You try to portray me in statues made of glass. Remember that when I came to town
I was riding on a ragged ass….Don’t try to improve me.

You try to play me, writing my name on the side of your gun.
You try to wave me like a flag when the war is won.
You try to claim me as a General to your troops.
Just remember that when they were kicking me around I did nothing but kiss their boots…
Don’t’ try to improve me.

I can cast a demon into a herd of wild pigs.
I can stop the thunder with a breath stepping over my lip.
You’re free to simplify me, beautify me, crucify me if you can.
Just remember that you’re talking about the only man who answers to the name ‘I Am’…
Don’t try to improve me.
