The Movie “Saint Cloud Hill”
If I was to scribble the drivel called Rap?
A Crash Course about, how it feels to be trapped.
I‘de brag about how, I‘de been there and done that;
And how it’s actually, really not all that bad,
Being right there, right where you’re at.
Don’t hold it against me that I’m not Black.
I may be white, but I still had to fight,
And I know what it feels like, to be under attack.
The Truth is The Truth and Fact is Fact.
Keep living and learning, there’s no turning back.
I’ve gotten pretty good at what some consider Bad.
Remembering what it feels like to be misunderstood,
Losing everything that I had.
Paying My Dues and not getting mad.
Yea, I had to go through that.
That’s why I’m not scared.
Who’de have ever thought?
They’de make a movie about that.
A Documentary about me fighting The City,
That damn sure wasn’t pretty,
And to me, it wasn’t an act.
A man standing up for what he believes,
And how little was actually achieved?
And how it always ends up sad.
There were those who benefit from it,
Over those who had it bad.
They called me The Captain,
But I was more like their Dad.
But what The City wanted,
The City grabbed,
And The City wanted the land,
The Homeless Campers had.
“Saint Cloud Hill” is a movie that will,
Make you feel like you’re almost there.
They got rid of The Homeless living there,
But not a single tree was spared.
That’s when The City convinced me,
The Fort Negley Homeless Facility,
“The Eagle’s Nest”
Was supposed to be established… Where?
People could see the possibilities,
When we as Tennessean’s care.
I want that land, But who am I?
I’m unprepared… But I ain’t scared…
And never will it happen, if no one ever tries.
Fighting a good fight for what you know is right,
Knowing you don’t stand a chance.
Showing them what it truly means to be Christian.
An Honest, Hardworking, Proud, Patriotic,
Decent, God Fearing American.
Sounds like another “Fool Proof Plan”
Thought up by The Captain,
Chris Scott Fieselman…
Ain’t My First Rodeo
Excerpt from: “Lessons Learned from Wisdom’s Words”
This ain’t – my first tour of duty.
This ain’t – my first time in hell.
There’s nothing that – you can do to me,
That ain’t been done – by someone else.
Now I’m a real – long way from a virgin,
And you sure as hell can’t say that I’m green.
My past – ain’t some kind of burden.
I can’t begin to tell you all that I’ve seen.
I’ve been up. I’ve been down.
Take my word – I’ve been around.
I’ve been here. I’ve been there.
I’ve been all – most everywhere.
I have seen – so many things.
Been a Pauper. Been a King.
Been around this mountain before…
No – This Ain’t My First Rodeo.
Now, I’ve been with people in power.
Had more than my five – minutes of fame.
Been through my share of darkest hours.
Enjoyed the hell out of – Playing the Game.
I can talk my way out of trouble.
You may think you’ve seen my kind before.
Well, I hate to have to burst your bubble.
But, I always leave them begging for more.
I’ve been up. I’ve been down.
Take my word – I’ve been around.
I’ve been here. I’ve been there.
I’ve been all – most everywhere.
I have seen – so many things.
Been a Pauper. Been a King.
Been around this mountain before…
No – This Ain’t My First Rodeo.
Now, you’re never going to hear me,
Sing the blues.
Though I know I probably could,
Because I’ve paid my dues.
You better listen close,
To what I say.
“You Can Lead,
You Can Follow,
Or Get Out of My Way.”
Hey, hey, hey…
I’ve been up. I’ve been down.
Take my word – I’ve been around.
I’ve been here. I’ve been there.
I’ve been all – most everywhere.
I have seen – so many things.
Been a Pauper. Been a King.
Been around this mountain before…
No – This Ain’t My First Rodeo.
