Lyrics
Rewind
1979
What do we find
Dirty little boy
No joy
Why is he crying
Daddy in the kitchen yelling loud
Something smelling foul
Roaches crawl hard
OMG
Is that a knife scar
No that's a machete scar
yes they already are
Known to the authorities
child crawling on his knees
WAP WAP WAP
Pain already starting, he
Runs to the corner then
Blows start thundering
meanwhile he's wondering
Where the hell his mamma at
She's out
Poppa slapped
Her in the mouth
Wow
blood pouring out
Now
she snoring loud
How
Never knew a person sleeping
Running down her leg she peeing
Oh damn oh damn
Here come the po po man
Hoping their gon be be saved
He beat them like slaves
Cop asking question then
What's with all the questioning
Listen child
He's foul
But he is your father still
I know he acts abysmal
His punishment's medicinal
You'll grow up
Learn a few things
And get some decent skills
Damn you copper
Do something proper
not just walk him down the block
You shoulda stopped him
Or clocked him
Anything to put him down
Or block him
ya'll need to put his ass away
What a crock of
Doodoo
and voodoo
that he do
he got you morons falling for his games
and the bullshit that he pulls
The f***ed up demon in your midst
You'll see what he'll do
Once you walking down the block
He'll smack our f***ing teeth loose
He'll skeeve you
Disgusting
Plus he's ugly and he's evil
He swears that he's above the law
Right now I'm starting to believe him
But he's dumb
And that's our saving grace
So we deceive em
A mean drunk
We make sure there's some piss in his coke and seagrams
He'll pass out
We take a stick and beat him
He wakes up not remembering a thing
wondering just why he' s bleeding
Na na na na
Hoping he die from a heart attack
Na na na na
Black hole sitting where his heart is at
Nananana
Wishing he leaves and he never comes back
excuse me
are ya'll saying something
uhh uhh
you can't tell me nothing
He's evil
It didn't take us long to understand that
The demonic way he undertakes his day
We always stand back
But he brought us in and beat us anyway
That man can slap
He's nothing but a cancer, take him away
We hope he never finds his way back
We'll say that
We wanted him to lay flat
Take a long siesta, hopefully take a dirt nap
Convert straps
to make traps
hold us down and break backs
And neck bones and thighbones and collarbones and squalor holds
In our home
our casa
The root of our nightmares
You might care
But then you probably don't
And that right there
Is why we fail
Lives are in the garbage pail
We value good families in America
But Americans values nothing
We're all expendable
And in the end it will
Destroy us
No ones dependable
Just scrambling
Gambling
Corruption
Eruptions of violence
Society is silent
all about ourselves
like what do I get
Nothing
Now hold that
And if you're good,
You'll mold that
We were told that
In order to get ahead
you need to hold stacks
Stacks of what
Green paper enemas
Cleaning out the pipes of the poor, right before ya bring an end to us
No thanks
I think I won't be sucked in
Fuucked in the ass
and made to cast
To-the-wind
all the things
that I trust in
I have a terrible time with adjusting
a body under pressure
Consequence disgusting
but dangers home
And back there, nobody's safe man
No food, the hunger is a bi*** and it's amazing
Sugar-water-used-to-hold-us-down
It's a disgrace when
A parent can't provide a happy life
What a waste man
A face can
Endure a lot of crap
Covered with lace when
A man beats his wife and then she dies
Funeral arrangements
Cas-ket encasing
the-children-were-embracing
A mother who would give her freakin life to try to save them
She's shaking
Taking all blows
And then she caves in
Body broken up beyond repair
Her life's erased then
gonna be a special spot in hell
that awaits him
Satan waiting there with open arms
to embrace him
How-can-we-re-late man
Everyone's debating
You're a evil man
but here are the kids
we know you hate them
We hope you think of changing
everybody's confident
it looks like you're abusing them
but nobody's stopping it
Na na na na
Hoping he die from a heart attack
Na na na na
Black hole sitting where his heart is at
Nananana
Wishing he leaves and he never comes back
excuse me
are ya'll saying something
uhh uhh
you can't tell me nothing
Hey kids
Go with your daddy
It's of-fi-cial
The judge said
you gotta go with him, you'll need a tissue
He'll drink booze
Nice and drunk before he starts to hit you
Or trips you
Kicks you in back
And leaves you crippled
He rips thru
All the pics you had of mom
With you
Took em all away so you can leave and drop the issue
He's tired of the crying
The fact you want your mom back
She's gone jack
Please erase the tears
And get your calm back
You're really it gonna need it
There's no one to protect you
You sister and brothers need your help
And they respect you
And necks do
Break
When you put the pressure next to
The small set of bones that holding up his head dude
catch him while he's sleeping
maybe with some poison
Be poised when
He hurling from the booze
Tape his mouth,
he'll start to choke then
The vomit
it'll go up in his nose then
You'll know when
His lips are blue
make sure
cause that's important
Reporting
Live from the scene
Were overjoyed when
Finally our wishes coming true
The asshole bought it
We're sorting
All the crap that's his
Good. lord. it's
Our time to shine and now we really are applauding
clap clap clap
dance and jump and scream
exuberant
ha ha ha
no more dealing with his stupid shit
the news is just
the best we heard
the beatings we are thru with it
our lives can now begin
the chapter ends
no more abusing
win
Na na na na
Hoping he die from a heart attack
Na na na na
Black hole sitting where his heart is at
Nananana
Wishing he leaves and he never comes back
excuse me
are ya'll saying something
uhh uhh
you can't tell me nothing
