Lyrics
We never had a chance to start it over
Once our life began, we had to live 'em on out
We had to live 'em on out
With or without friends
With or without parents
Brothers or sisters
We was in the midst of life kind
We was on a planet
I call it a mothership
She had everything growing
That us the humans needed
Oh, when we think about her water
Her water had all kinds of life formations
That was giving birth and birth and birth and birth and
Birth and birth and birth and birth and birth unto itself
As I laid on my back
Looking up into the heavens
At all the stars
That looked like little flickers of lights
I looked deep
I looked so deep
Sometime I would fall off to sleep
I let my eyes gaze deep within
I remember looking at my mother, my grandmother and I wondered
Why, why, why did they keep it all locked within their brains?
Now that I'm an old man
Now I know why kept all they did to themselves
Kept all they did to themselves
All the stressful moments
All the abuses and abuses and abuses
And their abuses and
And they said nothing
They just let them sink deep within
I'd rather bury myself in my thought
I said to myself
Hush a little brother Harley
Hush little Tonky McElroy
Don't you cry
Hush there little child
There's more to reality
And I'm gonna tell you why
I can't hush
I can't hush
I'm the little baby that was born
That cannot hush
How can I be any more than I am?
Just to pull myself
To pull myself free
How can I
How can I reach
How can I reach
I need the black ropes of hope
I need the togetherness
Where we put our black hands together
And act like a rope
No matter what conditions we have to face
We face them together
I know that there are some that is blind and cannot see
And there are some that cannot hear
But we still can feel and we have emotions
We have emotions
We have emotions
We have emotions
