It's been some time I've been offline
Well I sense disconnection stripped from my life source
My light sort of like Christs resurrection
That night got crucified
The bluest sky went black
I'm back to heaven now
The bluest eyes now eulogized me
And compromised blessings now
Racial profile was evident
Resident surveillance dialed 911 labeled terrorist
Black mask for the coldest weather
Why don't you take off your prejudice?
And I don't have no gun to cuff
I come in peace I don't eat meat
Don't beef please I don't do that stuff i'm introverted
I walked this route daily
You portrayed me a vengeful person
Cops would degrade me
Medics sedate me conditions worsened
Some days later rested my eyes
I saw the brightest star carry me home
Then chariots would fly
Violins sing violent cries
And subside when waters run dry
My fountain would fortify and importance immortalized
I've been tryna find the lines to describe
My families trails tribulations been on my mind
But don't worry I'mma be fine
Momma don't cry
Momma don't cry
Don't cry
Momma don't cry
Don't cry
I was just one years old when I died
AR's eyed my direction
More than 40 shots struck my house
One of those bullets pierced flesh
And released my soul
I know we can't control what is destined
But this is vengeance
Sacrilegious tendencies become weapons
It ain't right guess that's just life
That's what happens when you fight back them demons
And they keep screamin' to release this aggression
Sometimes I question
Why did I have to go?
God you said I'd be fine
How you forget to save me?
I'm a baby hey we need some time!
I need to grow up taller
Need to raise my Daughter
Need to raise my Son when I'm a woman
We need men that raise good Fathers
As I laid sleep on that couch
I dreamt a day that we'd be free
And we no longer mourn through song
And help prolong our family tree
Saw Grandma remember me
As my story made the TV
It breaks my heart to break apart from you
As tears crawl down your cheek
Maybe one day will be hand in hand
I'll land right by your side
We'll both find heaven you and I
Until that time we touch the sky
Momma don't cry
Momma don't cry
Don't cry
Momma don't cry
Don't cry
Momma don't cry
