The Netflix anime Yasuke follows a black samurai in Japan, and I enjoyed watching through the series! So, I thought I’d pull together a fun track for it. I know this won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, so if you enjoyed be sure to share it!

Lyrics:
Sword stays inside the sheath till I need it
Trained for years, didn’t live this long to be defeated
Rather do this peacefully, we aren’t treated equally
The Way Of The Sword, a fight for honour getting heated
Sword stays inside the sheath till I need it
A journey for our freedom, I could never be defeated
Their anger won’t be beating me, we aren’t treated equally
The Way Of The Sword, a fight for honour getting heated
Servant to a samurai, observant as they all outcry
I’m swerving as I’m cutting guys, the verdict is that they all should die
We wanna live a peaceful life and have this country unified
All I’m seeing are excuses, they’re useless, cut them down to size
Following my path, in battle, the show stopper
Slicing with precision, perfect knife skills like The Doctor
Among Us are imposters, fighting for their own clan
I won’t stand betrayal from my friends, now that’s a backstab
Cutting them like I’m Ichigo, blackswordsman but no Kirito
Defend for justice, call me Ichiro, your team? Killed ‘em weeks ago
Slash the monsters deep below, my work rate’s climbing faster
The Henry 8th treatment I gave to my own master
20 years I’ve lived my life and tried to move on
These demons all around me, did someone call in Muzan?
When it comes to helping children, promise they have not forgot me
Come stop me, God’s blows won’t prevent me saving Saki
Sword stays inside the sheath till I need it
Trained for years, didn’t live this long to be defeated
Rather do this peacefully, we aren’t treated equally
The Way Of The Sword, a fight for honour getting heated
Sword stays inside the sheath till I need it
A journey for our freedom, I could never be defeated
Their anger won’t be beating me, we aren’t treated equally
The Way Of The Sword, a fight for honour getting heated
Calmest in the battle, around me snakes rattle
Turn this snow white field blood red, the flames forever crackle
For justice or for green, the boys summon ghosts on command
Then we bring destruction, from the spirit like a JoJo’s stand
Steady my stance as I chop em like Hiei
See them advance as I’m watching the moves
Come on, let’s dance, I’ll put you to peace, they
Turn and flee, I’m saving the youths
I don’t need no magic power, even God won’t be your saviour
A new player’s on the the field and now it’s scissors vs paper
The clock is ticking down, the race is drawing to a close
Who you kidding, draw your blades, lets finally trade some blows
Guess it’s fitting, I’m strongest when I’m feeling low
Should’ve stuck to plans of quitting, lay your comrades down in rows
They called me a slave, but this beast is now in your way
Flow like Tanjiro, ride the wave through night and day
I shall pave my own path, not hard headed, better Sasuke
Then they run in fear, why? They Dreaded Yasuke
Sword stays inside the sheath till I need it
Trained for years, didn’t live this long to be defeated
Rather do this peacefully, we aren’t treated equally
The Way Of The Sword, a fight for honour getting heated
Sword stays inside the sheath till I need it
A journey for our freedom, I could never be defeated
Their anger won’t be beating me, we aren’t treated equally
The Way Of The Sword, a fight for honour getting heated
Once a slave named Eusebio Ibrahimo Baloi, he became Yasuke (easier to pronounce) upon becoming a vassal to Oda Nobunaga where his skill and honor earned much of his Lord’s favor, despite the discrimination for his skin and distrust for his foreign origin. After Honno-Ji Temple, he escaped his bondage under the Jesuits and became a recluse working as a boatsman ferrying people along the river he resides on.
