Killer / Papa Was a Rollin' Stone |
| So you want to be free |
| To live your life the way you wanna be |
| Will you give if we cry |
| Will we live or will we die |
| Tainted hearts heal with time |
| Shoot bad love so we can |
| Stop the bleeding |
| Solitary brother, |
| Is there still a part of you that wants to live? |
| Solitary sister, |
| Is there still a part of you that wants to give? |
| Solitary brother, |
| Is there still a part of you that wants to live? |
| Solitary sister, |
| Is there still a part of you that wants to give? |
| If we try to live our lives |
| The way we wanna be |
| Solitary brother, |
| Is there still a part of you that wants to live? |
| Solitary sister, |
| Is there still a part of you that wants to give? |
| Solitary brother, |
| Is there still a part of you that wants to live? |
| Solitary sister, |
| Is there still a part of you that wants to give? |
| Racism in future kins can only lead to no good |
| And besides, all our sons and daughters already |
| Know how that feels |
| (adam tinley/henry samuel) |
| Was the third of september |
| That day I’ll always remember, yes I will |
| Cause that was the day that my daddy died |
| Never had a chance to see him, no |
| Never heard nothing but bad things about him |
| Mama, Im depending on you to tell me the truth |
| Mama just hung her head and said |
| Chorus |
| Papa was a rollin stone |
| Wherever he laid his hat was his home |
| And when he died |
| All he left us was alone |
| (repeat) |
| Hey, mama, is it true what they say |
| That papa never worked aday in his life |
| Some bad talk going around sayin |
| Papa had three outside children |
| And another wife |
| That aint right |
| Heard some talk about papa and his storefront |
| Preachin |
| Talkin about saving souls and all the time |
| Leachin |
| And dealing in dirt |
| Stealin in the name of the lord |
| But mama she just said |
| Chorus |
| Say I heard my papa was a jack of all trades |
| Is that what papa sent to an early grave? |
| Folks say papa would beg, borrow or steal just |
| To pay his bills |
| Hey, mama, folks say papa was never much in thinkin |
| Spent most of his time chasin women and drinkin |
| But mother, Im depending on you |
| To tell me the truth |
| But my mama she just said |
| Chorus (2x) |
| (norman whitfield/barrett strong) |
