william tyler sowers - ida lyrics
your hard+working nature
climbed on up and outta you
turned its back on you
like that boy did too
they twisted your bones
made your time their home
spent all of your legacy
left you to your own
a silent smirk, a look deferred
your competition and rage left under
you rearranged your furniture
kept them out of their dust
watched tv in that cinderblock
watched the men while they did their stuff
you clutched your pocketbook
clung to that which robbed you
cut the face from the picturе book
ignored the truth and the tomb…
you watchеd your people die
they all left your side
your baby and his line
2 men gave up their lives
silent smirk, a look deferred
your competition and rage left just under
swept the house, bleached your blouse
giving more lightning than thunder
we took the house apart, claimed our odds
clutched our things, too close to god
empty and fleeting, and so self+defeating
it stung and it stings++this dying
