Make Me Wanna Holler
my mother used to whore hersel
and my fathe
would reap the benefits of her labo
it was almost as if she was absen
absent from her own life
i remembe
she would scrub the floors for the white folk
just to come hom
to cook and to clea
for the man who broke he
and i Love to watch her dance to the tunes o
the soul stations, yea
just to ease her mind
but my mothe
she was vindictive in her own fashio
so she passed down to me her trait
like that of her brown eyes and her dark hai
she passed down to m
her sadness
make me wanna holle
the sadness fills my hear
make me wanna holle
make me wanna holle
make me wanna holle
bab
make me wanna holler
my child will one day ask m
what will i be
as a child i promised mysel
i'd never be
like my mother or my fathe
i would ask myself
"did he feel so much pai
that it would make him wanna hurt another?"
but there was no excus
there was no excuse to make up for the pai
that i knew my mother felt
but somewhere my destiny cam
that i too became a slave, to my hear
wanting Love so badl
that i'd do anythin
no matter the shame

i never got the nerv
to ask my father "why?"
but my mothe
she would say
she stayed for my brother and mysel
but i would have sold my sou
just to share in one da
of my mother's desired happiness
when night fel
sometimes when night fel
i'd close my eye
and i'd hid
close your eye
when they would yell and screa
when my father would paint he
with a dark fac
of being belittled, disrespecte
and set asid
his liquor, the salv
for the unseen wounds
i learned so much from hi
what did i learn
how to hurt all of thos
who try to get too close

he would close his heart and hid
she would close her eyes and cry

nothing's changed
