Walking down Beal street
And who do see
It was the king yeah right I front of me
And he told me to shake my hips and move my lips
And he told me whatever you do you never quit
So went to new deli
and who did I see
It was ghandi walking down the street
And he told me no fighting no fighting
And stand up for what you believe in
Walking down Beal street
Started thinking
What is life and
Why I am sinking
Walking down Beal street
Looking for answers
What can change me
What am I seeing
Walking down the mississippi
And who do i see
The king’s alive
He’s shaking those hips
Walking down the mississippi
And who do i see
The king’s a leading
The many, the free
Walking down the mississippi
And who do i see
J’s a walking
On the water with me
Walking down the mississippi
And who do i see
Jay’s a walking
Rapping to me
Walking down bealstreat
Who do I see
The king yeah
Right in front of me
So I asked him, he told me
Something I needed
Loosen up and shake those hips
And move your legs and your lips
(No matter what never quit)
So I went walking in new deli
Who do I see in front of me
It’s Ghandi and he told me
(No fighting no fighting)
(Stand up for what you believe in)
(Peace is the only king)
Wisdom I needed
You gotta live free
Detaching and you will see
You’ll be free
So I went to South Africa
In prison Mandela
He told me to be at peace
To to be free, be sweet to everybody
(He told me to see no color, we’re all brothers)
(To forgive one another)
So I back to Tennessee
On Beal street who’d I see
Mr King yeah right I front of me
And he told me baby
To be free walk with me
Be at peace you will see
So we walked all the way to DC
And I made friends with everybody
Black and white united
Coming together to be free
Poor and wealthy
Believing in unity
B-chord phrase
Walking on the Mississippi who do I see
Walking on water it’s JC
And he told me to let go to be free
He told me a new life is waiting for me
