This song is a dedication to the 9 Saints that were killed at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in South Carolina on June 17, 2015 by white supremacist terrorist dylann roof. May your souls rest in eternal peace.

The Nine Saint are:

Cynthia Hurd

To the Saints: I hope you can forgive me for my display of anger at the end of the song. I had to be honest with myself and the listeners. God Bless.
