Lyrics:
the moments with the time that I was gambling
Sister get to rambling
The usual like I told you so
And finally I see blue
Under the clothes we folded down
Damn
people
I was taught to stand up now I'm leading
Gotta' balance the odds and evens
I want everything with you to be equal
Told my sister she a queen like
dreaming
American scheme, roll up your sleeves, by any means, bred to believe it
Charge for the fallen, my brothers and sisters will not rest in power
And your sister is out of town
Sit by my white piano
I'll sing you Christmas carols
Give you all of that this year
My heart wrapped in a box
With a ribbon
Excerpted from the Gospel of Saint Patricia
Decided to enlist your dear younger sister Paula sent her a text at 630 in the morning on a Monday
Which
stupidity
By the way, you gangsters should know
One of your victims was a three-year-old girl
Well, you gang members, you
Still don't get it, do ya?
(With
Blue skys, sunshine, what a day, let's take a walk in a
Brownsville come on
Bedstop come on
Fort Green come on
Everybody come on
Queens Bridge come
drinkin' wheat grass juice
Offended by my t-shirts, and how I behave
Just because I ain't rockin' dashiki's and braids
But if you know you ain't a bitch,
the corner, Mama, and hand me my travelin' shoes
You know by that, I've got them Statesboro blues
Sister got 'em, Auntie got 'em
Brother got 'em, friend
to all the Brothers and sisters in the daily struggle
I and I by your side
We say Aho to all the old folks singing round the fire for us
I and I by your
How easily
These blue uniformed monsters
Labeled
This BLM Activist
Suicidal
A verdict
That is normalized
For Black people
As our struggles
Deemed so
Blocks on fire (Block's on fire tonight)
Fiends getting higher (uh-huh)
Robbing blue collar
(Hey yo we rob them blue collars)
Killing for a dollar (Stick
Singing these Manchester City Blues
Drown my liver in a pool of liquor, it's true, hmm
Monetize my pain and my hurt
Commodify my frame, do your
she'd live with no arm
That's what it felt like, got to the hospital, eyes held tight
They moved her room to room-she could tell by the light
Handcuffed
a blue moon in my eyes
I can´t help myself
I woke up this morning everything was gone.
By half past ten my head was going ding-dong.
Ringing like a bell
our dreams of peace come true
So, you sisters, so, you brothers
Let us all take by the hands
Children, old folks and all others
May unite as world
worry honey, we’ll get by
Goodbye mama, Goodbye papa
I’m heading straight out of town
In the morning I’ll be waking, knowing when the sun went down
from us
Somebody's Mother - Like my mama
Someone's little girl - If you touch her Blue
Then it's all over
Somebody's sister - You better leave that
at Rittenhouse
Had a feeling I ain't had in a long week
I had a bad year. What about you?
Saw your sister's kid
In line, uniform, in a pew
Young punks they're
opinion by jive jesters
At the end of the day, the biggest fact
Is you only got one life and you won't ever get it back
That's why, I plan accordingly but
in jail
Sister's on the corner screamin', "Booty for sale"
Mom spends the night gettin' drunk with her uncle
Her brother's
together,(everybody) oh
Right on baby
Feel those earth blues coming at you baby
Don't let your imagination take you by surprise
A queen and me i, one day,
beatdowns, it ain't cool
It's bad enough we got it rough in society
Oppression and poverty, no need to be fightin
Each other, a brother hits a sister
can fix my soul
And in the blues and grays, cooling waters and stones
My ancestors, older sisters
Wiser brothers, come to bless us
Bring us messages
