Run, Jake, Run Video (MV)

Yo, down in Mississippi, back in eighteen-hundo,
A man named Jake, in the fields, always on the low,
Chained to the cotton, blood, sweat, and tears,
Owned by a rich cat, with a heart full of fears.
Jake dreams of freedom, stars whisper his name,
Every night he's schemin', stokin' the flame.
Eyes on the horizon, where the North winds blow,
A place where his soul can finally grow.

Run, Jake, run, through the night so black,
Run, Jake, run, ain't no turnin' back,
With the moon as your guide and hope in your soul,
Break them chains, find the place you belong.

One night, it went down, the stars aligned,
Jake saw his chance, left the fields behind,
With the stealth of a shadow, he slipped past the guards,
Heart poundin', feet flyin', reachin' for the stars.
But the hounds were comin', barkin' loud in the dark,
Bullets whizzed by, leavin' fear like a mark.
Through the woods, through the fields, with the breath of the wind,
Jake's fire was lit, he wasn't givin' in.

Run, Jake, run, through the night so black,
Run, Jake, run, ain't no turnin' back,
With the moon as your guide and hope in your soul,
Break them chains, find the place you belong.

Jake found a barn, cold, silent, and still,
Hid in the shadows, heart racin', but thrilled.
With every creak of the wood, his pulse raced high,
Owner's lantern swung low, but Jake stayed sly.
Through whispers of fear and echoes of pain,
He heard them steps fading, like drops of rain.
But the bounty was high, whispers spread fast,
Townfolk was talkin', Jake's name couldn't last.

Run, Jake, run, through the night so black,
Run, Jake, run, ain't no turnin' back,
With the moon as your guide and hope in your soul,
Break them chains, find the place you belong.

Then came a trader, white as snow,
Eyes kind and wise, seein' Jake's woe.
"Come with me, brother, I've seen your plight,
I'll guide you north, through the cover of night."
With a nod, Jake followed, trust growin' deep,
Each step a promise, a future to keep.
Through swamps and rivers, past the Mason-Dixon line,
They reached the freedom, the stars finally aligned.

Run, Jake, run, through the night so black,
Run, Jake, run, ain't no turnin' back,
With the moon as your guide and hope in your soul,
Break them chains, find the place you belong.

In the North, Jake found a community strong,
Where he wasn't just a slave, but a man who belonged.
With every sunrise, his spirit would rise,
In the land of freedom, beneath open skies.
He built a new life, with sweat and pride,
With brothers and sisters, standin' side by side.
Jake's story a beacon, of courage and might,
From the chains of darkness, to the freedom of light.

Run, Jake, run, through the night so black,
Run, Jake, run, ain't no turnin' back,
With the moon as your guide and hope in your soul,
Break them chains,
Find the place you belong.

So remember Jake, his flight in the night,
From the depths of despair, to the heights of light.
His legacy lives, in the hearts of the free,
A tale of courage, for you and me.
Run, Jake, run, let your spirit soar high,
In the land of the free, 'neath the endless sky.
Run, Jake, run, through the night so black,
You found your freedom, and you ain't goin' back.
