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 |
