40 Acres and a Mule to Ride @ M. A. Noble 2026
A man came that paved the way
Changed the Future
Ended being a slave
He taught us how to think and believe
Shared a vision of what we all could be
They shot him down
Thinking they had won
Not realizing the Future
had already begun
40 Acres and a Mule to ride X 2
Some believe that it ain’t right
To take this gift from that bloody fight
A piece of Land a chance to be free
To build a Home raise a Family
But they took it back sent me on my way
Still I’m a Free Man so I blessed the day
40 Acres and a Mule to ride
Been thru Hell I’m on the other side
40 Acres & a Mule was a lie
40 Acres and a Mule to ride
I’ve been Re-Born I’m finally alive
40 Acres and a Mule to ride
2
It’s been a couple, a hundred years
Seems we’re still fighting
Those same old fears
It ain’t easy FREEDOM never was
That what you purchase when your
Paying with blood
I’ll take this hope & live my own Dream
Focus on the Future build a Family
40 Acres and a Mule to ride
Been thru Hell I’m on the other side
40 Acres & a Mule was a lie
I’ve been Re-Born I’m finally alive
40 Acres and a Mule to ride X 6
