Hide Lyrics Hint
[E] Something for my God sent me live in a little girl named Corrine.
[Abm] .
[E] [Abm] .
[E] Say the black of the bed, sweet of the juice, [Abm] I say the dark of the flesh, and the deep of the roots.
[E] I give a holler to my sisters on welfare, and [Abm] my kids, if nobody else cares.
[Dbm] And uh, I know they like to beat you down a lot, [Abm] when they come around the block, brothers clown a lot.
[Dbm] Please don't cry, dry your eyes, never let [Abm] her forget, but don't forget, girl, [E] keep your head up.
And when he tells you you ain't nothing, don't believe [Abm] him.
And if you can't learn to love you, you should [Dbm] leave him.
Cause sister, you don't [Abm] need me, and I ain't trying to cash up, I just call him out.
You [A] [E] know what makes me [Abm] unhappy?.
When brothers make it eight, and leave a young mother [E] to be unhappy.
And since we all came from a woman, [Abm] got our name from a woman, and I came from a woman.
[E] I wonder why we take from a woman, [B] why we [Abm] rape our women, do we make our [E] women?.
I think it's time to kill for our women, [Abm] time to heal our women, be real to our women.
[A] And if we don't, we'll have a race of babies, [Abm] that will hate the ladies, that make the babies.
[A] And since a man can't make one, [Abm] he has no right to tell a woman when and where to create [E] one.
So will the real men get up?.
[B] I know you fed up, ladies, [E] but keep it.
[Dbm] Baby, I'm fed up.
[E] Things are going easy.
I'm [Dbm] fed up.
Things are [Abm] getting brighter.
I [Dbm] [E] .
[Ab].
[A] remember Marvin Gaye, used to sing to me.
[Abm] He had me feeling like black was the thing to be.
[A] Suddenly the ghetto didn't seem so tough.
[Abm] I thought we had it rough, we always had enough.
[A] I hopped above about my curfew, broke the roof, [Abm] ran with the local crew, and had a smoke or two.
[E] I realized mama really paid the price.
[Abm] She nearly gave her life to raise me right.
[E] All I had to give her was my life, [Abm] bring my heart up off the mic, and make it to the right [Dbm] screen.
I'm trying to make a dollar out of [Abm] everything I say.
It's hard to be legit, [Dbm] but there's still play written in the end.
It seems I'm heading [E] for the pen.
I try to find my friends, but they're blowing in the wind.
Last night, my body lost its whole [Abm] family.
It's gonna take the man in me to conquer this insanity.
[A] It seems the rain [Dbm] will never let up.
I try [Abm] to keep my head up and still keep on getting [A] wetter.
You know it's funny when it rains and pours.
[Abm] Ain't got money for water, but can't feed the poor.
[A] Said it ain't no hope [Abm] for the youth, and the truth is it ain't no hope for the future.
[E] And didn't they wonder why we [A] crazy?.
[Abm] I blame my mother for turning my brother into a black [E] baby.
We ain't meant to survive, cause it's the spatter.
[Abm] But even though you're better.
[E] Give me your better.
[A] Ooh, [E] child, things [Abm] are getting brighter.
Give [Dbm] me your better.
[A] Ooh, child, [Abm] things are getting [Dbm] brighter.
[A] [E] And all the [A] ladies having babies on their own.
I know [Abm] it's kind of rough and you're feeling all alone.
[E] Daddy's long gone and he left you by your lonesome.
[Abm] Thank the Lord for my kids, even if somebody [Dbm] else loaned them.
Cause I think we can make it in fact, [Abm] I'm sure.
And if you fall, stand tall and [Dbm] come back for more.
Cause ain't [A] nothing worse than when your son [E] wants to know why his daddy don't love him no more.
[Dbm] You can't complain, you will stealth this hell [Abm] of a hand without a man feeling helpless.
[E] Because there's too many things for you to deal [Abm] with.
Dying inside or outside, you're looking thin.
[E] A lot of tears is rolling down [Gbm] your cheek.
[Abm] Is daddy hoping things don't all fall down this week?.
[A] Cause if it did, you couldn't take it.
And don't [Abm] blame me.
I was given this world.
I didn't make [A] it.
And now my son's getting old, cold, [Abm] cold from having the world on his [Dbm] shoulders.
While the rich kids are driving big, [Abm] I'm still trying to hold on to surviving free.
[Dbm] And it's crazy, it seems you'll never let [Abm] up.
But please, [Am] you gotta
