Mother Songtext
I was making faces at my brother
Come on, tell your sister that you love her
Don't lie
I know we've got problems
That's just family
And God knows what we carry from our history

Don't hide from my
Body and my mind
Body and my mind
Hurt in the bloodline
I'm gonna break

Oh, mother, why I gotta be like that?
I know it's been bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
But we don't have to carry on the past
Oh, mother, I don't wanna be like that
I know it's been bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
But I won't let my baby live with any of my past

Heavy, heavy heartbreak made our country
Why does Mama India feel so far from me?
Don't hide
All these little boys were putting hands on where they prolly shouldn't
Really wish that touch was something that we didn't have in common

Always lives in my
Body and my mind
Body and my mind
Hurt in the bloodline
I'm gonna break

Oh, mother, why I gotta be like that?
I know it's been bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
But we don't have to carry on the past
Oh, mother, I don't wanna be like that
I know it's been bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
But I won't let my baby live with any of my past

I wanna break the cycle
I got all your tears ending up in mine
I wanna break the cycle
Leave the bad, bad, bad behind
I wanna love that loves to love
And give my baby a chance that I never had

Oh, mother, why I gotta be like that?
I know it's been bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
But we don't have to carry on the past
Oh, mother, I don't wanna be like that
Oh, I know it's been bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
But I won't let my baby live with any of my past
