| | | Artist: | MeShell NdegOcello |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Make Me Wanna Holler | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 64 | | | | Lyrics: | my mother used to whore herself
and my father
would reap the benefits of her labor
it
was almost as if she was absent
absent from her own life
i remember
she would scrub the
floors for the white folks
just to come home
to cook and to clean
for the man who broke
her
and i Love to watch her dance to the tunes on
the soul stations, yeah
just to ease
her mind
but my mother
she was vindictive in her own fashion
so she passed down to
me her traits
like that of her brown eyes and her dark hair
she passed down to me
her
sadness
make me wanna holler
the sadness fills my heart
make me wanna
holler
make me wanna holler
make me wanna holler
baby
make me wanna holler
my child will one day ask me
what will i be?
as a child i promised myself
i'd
never be
like my mother or my father
i would ask myself,
"did he feel so much
pain
that it would make him wanna hurt another?"
but there was no excuse
there was
no excuse to make up for the pain
that i knew my mother felt
but somewhere my destiny
came
that i too became a slave, to my heart
wanting Love so badly
that i'd do
anything
no matter the shame
make me wanna holler
i...
Love me
make me
wanna holler
tell me
make me wanna holler
mmm, so sorry
make me wanna holler
so
sorry
why?
i never got the nerve
to ask my father "why?"
but my mother
she
would say,
she stayed for my brother and myself
but i would have sold my soul
just to
share in one day
of my mother's desired happiness
when night fell
sometimes when
night fell
