I'm Asking |
| I’m asking all you mothers, |
| do your children take jive? |
| and God was just piled upon them |
| do you think they’ll survive? |
| you send them to the movies |
| what you think that they’ll see? |
| you know that that won’t be love |
| that not breathing cheaply |
| A vagrant or a murderer |
| a rapist or a cheat |
| I missed your millions |
| and violence in our streets |
| I’m asking! |
| Yes, I’m Asking! |
| But Las Vegas bodies |
| are still not for your lives |
| I’m asking all you mothers, |
| do you tell your children lies? |
| how do you think they’ll grow up |
| if they’re weened upon a gun |
| or stories of how the stork |
| and bout you, your new start |
| a tear in the darkness |
| as a wellness fills there eyes |
| when truth is discovered |
| if they leave you — don’t |
| don’t you be surprised |
| I’m asking |
| I’m asking all you mothers |
| I’m asking |
| all you mothers to be |
| I’m asking |
| for the sake of our children, |
| don’t take away the right |
| the right to be free |
| I’m asking all you young girls |
| have you learned about lost pleasure |
| or did your parents bind tomorrow |
| restrain you from the treasure |
| Tell me, look behind you |
| was your mama really there? |
| your child looks alot like you |
| for her sake I hope you’ll be fair |
| you want your kids to grow up |
| with the things you never had |
| then give them all there freedom |
| respect there values of good and bad |
| I’m asking |
| Yes, I’m asking |
| I’m asking |
| I’m asking |
| do you tell your children lies |
| I’m asking |
| I’m asking |
| I’m asking |
| I’m asking |
| Yes, I’m asking |
| I’m asking |
