Can I do one more really quick? So he said blow black mother, black mother He always announce the title black mother, this is rap This is hip hop, this is all that, from the street Poetry from the street Black mother I must confess that I still breathe Though you are still not free What could justify my crying start Forgive my coward's heart But blame me not the sheepish me For I be sleeping in a deep, deep sleep And I be hazed and dazed And vipers fester in my hair Black mother, I curse your drudging years The rapes, heartaches, sweat and tears But I swear I'll seize night's dark and gloom A rose I'll wear to honor you And when I fall A rose in hand You'll be free, and I a man For a slave of natural death who dies Can't balance out two dead flies I'd rather be without the shame A bullet lodged within my brain Black mother
