앨범 : Timeless

Dear mom
Alana's in her second trimester
Stressed out
'cause I'm gone she
acting all extra
We're happy
'cause she knows it's a girl
But we doubtful
if we should
bring another one in the world
An' the pic you sent with you
and the kids is da bomb
I'm keepin' all my photos
in my 23rd Psalm
My best friend Armani
lost her arm at the border
Just tryin' to restore
a little peace and order
An' it's strange
'cause she reads the Koran
Torn between what side
she needs to be on
Haven't slept for days
I squeeze Visine
'Cause no man's eyes should
see what I've seen
Soldiers lost their mind
robbin' pillagin'
Tomahawk missiles
into civilian villages
And they ease the pain
with narcotics
I'm scared but I'm tryin' to
remain patriotic
My father forgive us
'Cause we know not what we doin'
And my brothers
how we gonna tie up
All these loose ends'
And my mother
tryin' to use
Ev'rything you taught me
to keep it movin'
And my brothers and sisters
how we gonna tie up
All these loose ends'
New message from mom
at Bringbackthetroopsdot.com
At home they 'Nam
so sad you had to miss
Shavonne's prom
Just some songs off the Marvin Gaye
what's Going On album
And her smile lit up the room
She asks me if at night
when she stares at the moon
Is it possible
at the same moment of time
You're starin' as well'
'Cause you two were in tune
Your dad's Purple Heart now
hangs over his ashes
An' Trini's alive
and wake up with hot flashes
They say the disease's gastric
Have yet to explain
the migraines and rashes
And have you seen
what the price of gas is
We can't afford the property taxes
We just want you back at home
Where you belong with your family
You're the backbone
My father forgive us
'Cause we know not what we doin'
And my brothers
how we gonna tie up
All these loose ends'
And my mother
tryin' to use
Ev'rything you taught me
to keep it movin'
And my brothers and sisters
how we gonna tie up
All these loose ends'
Tell me how can we live this way
We've gone so far astray
no one knows what to say
We got young peoples lives at stake
What is it gonna take
for us to find a way
The world is changin'
we in danger
'Cause we ain't changin
our behavior
We behave like calm is nothing
Ain't concerned with
repercussions
ain't that somethin'
Check 'em out now
pointin' fingers
When they know how
we got to this point of terror
Precaution could have made
the road clearer
But we stuck with
mediocre leadership
So we'll just suffer
Who knows what the hell is going on
With conflicts they keep on growing
It's a fucked up situation
When you ain't got no education
On the problem
or know what it's about
You gotta help me out
