los coast - (everything but) the kitchen sink lyrics

[verse 1]
mama’s in the kitchen doing all the dishes
papa goes to church and says it makes a difference
i close my eyes and dream that i was swimming
but a man like me needs superst-tion
i’m out here trying to sell tickets
my baby’s at home working on her fitness
mama’s in the kitchen doing all the dishes
while i’m out here screaming, “can i get a witness?”
i got 20/20 third eye vision
but y’all different, need to get a new prescription
rocking gold shackles, trying to keep your souls hidden
didn’t you know the road to h-ll was paved with good intention?
it’s ambition, so maybe pay attention
sit back and take some notes on how it’s written
i’m so tired of hearing lyrics calling women b-tches
while your mama’s in the kitchen doing all the dishes

[chorus]
oh, said it’s never enough
no, not that shiny stuff
no, said it’s never enough
no, i said it’s never enough
no, not that shiny stuff
no, no, said it’s never enough

[verse 2]
mama’s in the kitchen doing all the dishes
papa goes to work and keeps on digging ditches
i close my eyes and wish that i was fiction
’til ma gets my attention and sees if i can pitch in
i’m out here trying to make a living
out here just taking care of business
mama’s in the kitchen doing all the dishes
whistling, worried sick i’ll wind up in prison
she says if you’re colored, they’ll throw you in detention
throw away the key and tell you good riddance
it doesn’t matter if you believe and you christian
you’ll be standing in the courtroom, screaming, “can i get a witness?”
so i decided i got to make some good decisions
keep my nose cleans and keep my chakras in position
make some records, get the whole world to listen
without calling women b-tches ’cause my mama taught me different

[chorus]
oh, said it’s never enough
no, not that shiny stuff
no, said it’s never enough
no, i said it’s never enough
no, not that shiny stuff
no, said it’s never enough
no, i said it’s never enough
no, not that shiny stuff
no, said it’s never enough

[verse 3]
i’m out here just pulling up my britches
doing the best i can just not to burn bridges
papa’s in the back watching television
says there’s riots in the streets ’cause the cops shoot the defenseless
mama’s in the kitchen doing all the dishes
papa drives home after giving mama kisses
a couple jokes at christmas had the family in st-tches
but it’s a long road to redemption, no matter what’s on your wishlist
they separate now, and i ain’t think that i can fix it
they better independent, mama still does his dishes
he say, “sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction
so get some songs spreading with a vision, make ’em listen
whatever you do, don’t go calling women b-tches
while your mama’s in the kitchen doing all the dirty dishes”
(whatever you do, don’t go calling women b-tches
while your mama’s in the kitchen doing all the dirty dishes)

[chorus]
oh, said it’s never enough
no, not that shiny stuff
no, said it’s never enough
oh, said it’s never enough
no, not that shiny stuff
no, said it’s never enough
oh, and it’s never enough
no, not that shiny stuff
no, said it’s never enough
oh, said it’s never enough
no, not that shiny stuff
no, said it’s never enough

[outro]
no, said it’s never enough
