[Ab] [Eb]
No, no, no, NO!
[Ebm]
All my life I loved this girl so much
All my life I loved her simple touch
She cared for me and put me on this earth
Oh the pain of just a simple birth
But now I find that she has [Eb] left me dumb and blind
Poisoned, twisted, and destroyed my [B] mind!
[Ebm] She taught me things that simply were not true
She taught me hate, her race, that why I hate you!
There's only one way I can make it right
Mama's gotta die tonight
There's only one way I can make it right
[Eb] Mama's gotta die [Db] tonight
[B]
[Eb]
Mama, Mama
I [Gb] always loved my Mama
[Eb] I always loved my [Gb] Mama
[Eb] I loved the way she hold [Gb] me, I loved the way she talk to me
[Eb] She used to teach me [Gb] a lot of things
She [Eb] taught me good things, she taught me bad things
Don't trust white people, [Gb] don't trust white people
[Eb] Don't trust white people, they're no [Ab] good, they're no good, they're no good, they're no good
[Eb] They're just gonna rip you off, they're [Gb] just gonna rip you off
[Eb]
Trust them, don't trust them
I said why Mama?
[Gb]
You say I told [Eb] you don't trust them, they're no good
I said Mama, [Gb] I thought we were all [Eb] the same Mama Why Mama?
You said don't ask me any questions
[Gb] [Eb] Don't you challenge your mother
Mama, so one day [Gb]
I found myself [Ebm] in love
And I brought my girlfriend [Eb] home
And I introduced her to my mother
And [Ab] she smacked [Ebm] me!
[Eb] It was a white girl
And I said why Mama?
[Gb] Why Mama?
[Ebm] What did I do wrong, you know?
[Eb]
I found out my mother was an evil woman
She hated Puerto Ricans
Mexicans, Jamaicans
Indians, Orientals
Mama was [Gb] no good
I [Eb] learned to hate my mother
Hate my mother
So I got [Gb] some [Eb] lighter fluid [Ab] from the corner store
And I put it around her [Gb] bed
And I [Eb] set her on fire
[Ebm] Burn Mama!
[Gb] Burn Mama!
[Eb] Burn Mama!
[Gb] Burn!
Burn!
[Eb]
[Gb] Burn!
Burn!
[Eb] Burn!
[Gb] Burn!
[Eb] Burn you racist bitch!
[Ab] But she [Gb] wasn't quite dead
[Eb] She jumped up from the bed
And I [Eb] grabbed my Louisville Slugger
That she had bought me for my 12th birthday
And I came up behind her [Gb] and I hit her
[Ab] I hit her, [Gb] I hit her twice
[Eb]
Nah, she [Ab] was out
I went [Eb] into the kitchen and I got the handy carving knife
That we only use on special occasions
[Ab] Like bullshit Thanksgiving
[Eb] And I took her and I laid her old fucked up corpse on the floor
And I [Gb] cut her in little bitty pieces
[Ebm] Cut off her arms, [Abm] her feet, [Eb] her neck
And I put her into little [Gb] green hefty bags
[Eb] And I put it into my car
[Gb] And I said Mama we're gonna go on a vacation
A permanent vacation, bitch!
I took some of her around the world
To [Eb] Arizona, New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Miami, Oakland
Ha ha ha, yo, you wanna go to Connecticut, bitch?
[Eb] Ohio, [Gb] Detroit, [Eb] Texas, [Gb] LA
[Eb] Who's laughing now, Mama?
Who's [Ebm] laughing now, bitch?
Who's laughing now?
Ha ha ha, ha!
[Eb]
[Ab] So if you got a mother, or a grandmother, or a [Gb] father
Who wants to [Ebm] carry on the same racist [Eb] bullshit
That's [Gb] fucked this world up from [Eb] day one
You [Gb] can either [Eb] look him in the face and tell him to suck your [Eb] dick
Or do like Body Count does
[B] All my life I loved this girl so much
All my life I loved her simple touch
[Ebm] She cared for me and put me on this earth
Oh, what pain a test for simple birth
But now I find that she has left me dumb and [Eb] blind
Poisoned, twisted, and destroyed [C] my mind
[Ebm] She taught me things that simply were not [Eb] true
She taught me hate, her race, and why I [C] hate you
[Ebm]
There's only one way I can make it right
Mama's gotta die tonight
There's only one way I can make it right
Mama's gotta die [Db] tonight
[Eb] [N]
