alicia keys – elaine brown (interlude) lyrics
okay, can i do one more? it’s really quick. so he said, “blow black mother, black mother.” he always announce the t-tle and say, “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 not yet free
what could justify my crying start
forgive my coward’s heart
but blame me not the sheepish me
while 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 and heart-breaks, sweat and tears
but i swear on siege night dark and gloom
a rose i’ll wear to honor you, and when i fall
the rose in hand
you’ll be free and i a man
for slave of natural death who dies
can’t balance out to two dead flies
i’d rather be without the shame
a bullet lodged within my brain, black mother
