Текст песни The Mourning After - Cellus Hamilton

The stories I be tellin got no age limit
Here go one from where I left the page dented
This one bout America with slaves in it
Written by the hand of men who lied
And said it really said
Something it ain't say in it

I'm mad for a number of reasons
You like the devil
You knew the truth
But ain't want me to see it

Shaking my head

His rap gone get me an early retirement
Na Masa
I ain't built for the shucking and jiving

Red blood from black bodies been over with
Ever since the blood from black Jah spilled over it

Y'all think Cause I'm saved
Baptized
I'll get over it

Well you ain't seen the rage of black man
I'm over it

I wish tears was allowed in the hood
Shame Everything dried up
If we free to speak our mind
Don't lock up when we riot

This whole country going up in smoke
And i dare you laugh now
If you think that it's joke
We aint playin with you

We gone burn this motherfucker down

And got the nerve to say in the name of George
How we burnt it down

Black owned businesses
What the fuck we own now

Gone try to rebuild
But we can't get no loan now
Yea we fresh as hell
But we really on our own now
Everything closed down
Where we gone go now

Buses, trains closed down
They don't want us downtown
Shit,
The white folks dont even want us round
Still picking cotton that we got on our back
Still got shackles that we got on our ankles

We still blind
We need a different angle

Too much drillin
Too much killin
Not enough healin

Too many broken homes with no fathers in it
Too many gangbangers
Not enough lawmakers

I wanted to be don juan growin up
Now im a heartbreaker
A soul taker
I hope growin up broke will motivate ya

I'm hopin all this make yall want to do better
I'm hopin this will make us want to protect our own a little mo

I hope this open more doors to the ones that was just closed
I'm gone
