The shepherd king

[INTRO - Old Man spoken, bass heavy]
Big shout to Deejay Genetix pon the message 
Old man in the shade, watch di young ones run.
Listen close, the story is real.

[VERSE 1 - Lead toasting]
Youngest of eight, out in the field,
Watching the sheep, his heart revealed.
A prophet came with oil in hand,
"Anoint this boy, he'll lead the land."
Giant came, ten feet tall,
Swords and shields, he had it all.
But David picked five smooth stones,
Faced the giant all alone.
Sling swung round, the stone flew true,
Goliath fell — the whole crowd knew.
From shepherd boy to warrior brave,
The Lord his rock, the Lord his save.

[NO BACKUP - Solo lead continues]


[CHORUS - Lead, heavy bass]
Who is this man? Do you know his name?
From the field to the throne, he rose to fame.
A king, a poet, a warrior bold,
His story in the scrolls is told.
Who is this man? The giant slayer,
The psalmist, the king, the prayer player.
From humble start to royal crown,
The greatest king in the whole town.


[VERSE 2 - Lead toasting]
King Saul grew jealous, threw a spear,
David ran, no time for fear.
He hid in caves, he lived in rocks,
But God protected all his flocks.
He spared the king, he showed respect,
Though Saul pursued, he would not neglect.
The throne was promised, he would wait,
Not lift his hand against the state.
When Saul fell, David wept and mourned,
A heart of gold, a king was born.
He brought the ark, he danced with joy,
A humble man, no pride or ploy.

[BRIDGE - Spoken over African drums]
Balafon play, mbira ring,
Nyatiti pluck, kayamba swing.
Djembe talk, talking drum cry,
Old man voice, let the truth fly.
He wrote the psalms, he sang the songs,
To the Most High, all day long.
"The Lord's my shepherd," he would say,
"I shall not want, He leads the way."
From Bethlehem to Zion's hill,
His story gives us strength still.
Shepherd, warrior, king, and priest,
His legacy will never cease.


[VERSE 3 - Lead toasting, deeper tone]
But David was not perfect, no,
He made mistakes, we all know.
He took a wife, he broke the law,
But he repented, he saw his flaw.
Nathan spoke, the truth was clear,
"I have sinned," he cried with fear.
The Lord forgave, the Lord is just,
In Him, we put our trust.
His son would build the holy place,
But David ran the righteous race.
He died old, full of days,
A heart that gave the Lord all praise.

[FINAL CHORUS - Lead, bass rumbling]
Who is this man? Do you know his name?
From the field to the throne, he rose to fame.
A king, a poet, a warrior bold,
His story in the scrolls is told.
Who is this man? The giant slayer,
The psalmist, the king, the prayer player.
From humble start to royal crown,
The greatest king in the whole town.
David! Yes, that's the name,
A shepherd boy who made his claim.
Not perfect, but a heart so true,
A man after God's own view.


[OUTRO]
David — the giant slayer, the shepherd king.
But the question ain't for me, it's for you.
Deejay Genetix
Shepherd boy became a king
Blessed be Jehovah
