Dear mom Alana's in her
second trimester
Stressed out 'cause I'm gone
she acting all extra
We're happy
cause she knows it's a girl
But we doubtful if we should
bring another one in the world
An' the pic you sent with you
and the kids is da bomb
I'm keepin
all my photos
in my 23rd Psalm
My best friend Armani lost
her arm at the border
Just tryin' to restore a
little peace and order
An' it's strange
cause she reads the Koran
Torn between what side
she needs to be on
Haven't slept for days
I squeeze Visine
'Cause no man's eyes
should see what I've seen
Soldiers lost their mind
robbin pillagin
Tomahawk missiles into
civilian villages
And they ease the pain
with narcotics
I'm scared but I'm tryin
to remain patriotic
My father forgive us
'Cause we know not
what we doin'
And my brothers
how we gonna tie up
All these loose ends'
And my mother tryin' to use
Ev'rything you taught me
to keep it movin'
And my brothers and sisters
how we gonna tie up
All these loose ends'
New message from mom
at Bringbackthetroopsdot.com
At home they 'Nam
so sad you had to miss
Shavonne's prom
Just some songs off the
Marvin Gaye 'What's Going On
album
And her smile lit up the room
She asks me if at night
when she stares at the moon
Is it possible at the same
moment of time
You're starin' as well
'Cause you two were in tune
Your dad's Purple Heart
now hangs over his ashes
An' Trini's alive and
wake up with hot flashes
They say the disease's gastric
Have yet to explain the
migraines and rashes
And have you seen
what the price of gas is'
We can't afford the
property taxes
We just want you back at home
Where you belong
with your family
You're the backbone
My father forgive us
'Cause we know not
what we doin'
And my brothers
how we gonna tie up
All these loose ends'
And my mother
tryin' to use
Ev'rything you taught me
to keep it movin'
And my brothers and sisters
how we gonna tie up
All these loose ends'
Tell me how can we
live this way
We've gone so far astray
no one knows what to say
We got young peoples
lives at stake
What is it gonna take
for us to find a way'
The world is changin
we in danger
'Cause we ain't
changin our behavior
We behave like calm is nothing
Ain't concerned
with repercussions
ain't that somethin'
Check 'em out now
pointin' fingers
When they know how we
got to this point of terror
Precaution could have
made the road clearer
But we stuck
with mediocre leadership
So we'll just suffer
Who knows what the
hell is going on
With conflicts they
keep on growing
It's a fucked up situation
When you ain't
got no education
On the problem or know
what its about
You gotta help me out
