Testo Mother - The Roots
Testo della canzone Mother (The Roots), tratta dall'album Imagine: John Lennon 75th Birthday Concert (Live)
I put one in the air when my father died
I knew life wasn't fair once my mama died
Drama personified, heartache and homicide
Makes me kinda wonder sometimes, damn, how I'ma die
Gotta get from under this dark cloud that I'm bothered by
If that brings a tear to your eye, then I apologize
For every child that's born, another shot is fired
Here's where the line gets drawn, right through the dollar sign
No rockabye, no lullaby before my goodbye
Preoccupied with the other side before I arrived
They left this message, I'll deliver to the riot squad
It's just to let you know I answer to a higher God
My diatribe, embracin' the brilliance
Takin' a village, faces of a nation of millions
As I take a knee, I pray for the children
Feelin' like abandoned buildings
Sellin' our souls, we're makin' a killin', listen
Mother, you had me
But I never had you
I wanted you
You didn't want me
So I, I just gotta tell you
Goodbye, goodbye
Father, you left me
But I never left you
I needed you
You didn't need me
So I, I just gotta tell you
Goodbye, goodbye
Children, don't you do
What I have done
I couldn't walk
And I tried to run
So I, I just gotta tell you
Goodbye, goodbye
Mama, don't go
Daddy, come home
Mama, don't go
Daddy, come home
Oh, mama, don't go, oh
Daddy, come home
Oh, mama, don't go
Daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy
Oh, mama, don't go, mama, don't go
Mama, don't go
I can't, oh, daddy, daddy
Mama
