Lyrics:
can overcome what mentally dad did well
While I count the days in my padded cell
(Several women a day are killed by ah, battering)
(Listen
down my halls and constantly be reminded
By pictures, all on my walls and I couldn't sleep at night 'cause
That image burned in my brain of you on that
life sigh
Gets deep in the dome breathe easier alone at night
Just fight or flight can you relate my guy
When a friend try ask me how i'm getting by
I
goes......
safe as fuk, i've took an acid and loads of times, it's made my arms stretch three times longer than they normally are, i feel like i can fly up in
on a crack where the superstition was you’ll break your mother’s back
Because they used to be told stay in the back till they got numb seeing they mother’s
on the wall I got back in '69
And the quarter acre piece of
Heaven I call mine
As I turn off the cable and
Put my babies to bed
I kiss them goodnight
my circumferance
It’s like traveling the seven seas
And last without a compass
Lured in by the sirens
I’m Poseidon spitting violent storms
I’m here
seems strange
Holding back the tears
And he smiles just like a child
In the days at night
Mother, of song
You'll find the right way to cherish, in
but everything happens too fast to catch a second breath
Or a mother's life ambition, for her son to go to college
Shattered by a nameless bullet in
hit the blunt, hit his baby mother up
Have the bags by the door I’m coming to pick you up
Gotta move fast If lil man sleepin then get him up
Ima go
Across the sea by the Tennessee skyline
They told me I'd find my hopes and my dreams
But I long to be, in the bed of my true love
Back where I
You took me from my mother's lovin' arms.
I still had about a foot to grow.
Whoa-ooh, I must have been only maybe seventeen.
It was a very long
person
My mental a gorilla, he's strapped up with heavy arms
Nothing else I said was realer, by comparison, I'm far
Compared to where I was a year ago, I
the maze I found a dragon barbeque in the back
A arm came out of the toilet and squaws my balls
That shirt hurt got me head but holes in the walls
I wanna
Sitting in my ass
In my room
Legs crossed
Ping ponging in my mind
Entangled by the ropes
Arms spread
Dreading the time when I have to be it again
Writing
short sticks but we really need a long
To the boys in the hood, duckin' bullets and batons
From boys in the hood, triple Ks on they arm
Four fingers
they write the town paper
The kittens pounce and rip the mouse
Their mother caught by the church
Tire scrapes on yellow curbs
As kids in cars pulled up
it as a sign on how
Im living my life
Who can I trust
I put my faith in the lord
My soul is protected by
The shield and the sword
This right here my
back
I'm from where a bitch a kill you and they all trap
Mall bags getting made by the Reynold's rap
Everybody puttin orders in watch em bring it back
world
I've got your back forever my baby girl
Rock you to sleep in my arms
Love you with all of my heart
Hope you know that you are
One in a million to me
blessing yo for carrying our fruits
Don’t be silent by Nina Simone in the booth
Hook
I do this for the strongest backs
Women with heart who no dey slack
When I was a baby girl
Born on my ancestral land
I shared a bedroom with my family
Happily
Bathed outdoors in a tin tub
Held mother's hand through
your Barney in the backyard
You dug it up with your bare hands—now that’s hard
Karma had a way of sorting that out
Fell out a tree, broken in pieces by
a boy in Grandma's arms
A mother's pride and a wounded heart
And I was full with fiery wonder
You wore Audrey Hepburn pearls
You were the only one
