Okay, can I do one more? It's really quick(Please, come on)So he said: "Blow black mother, black mother"He always announce the title and say"black mother"This is rap, this is hip hopthis is all that, from the streetPoetry from the streetBlack mother, I must confess that I still breatheThough you are not yet freeWhat could justify crying startForgive my cowards heartBut blame me not for sheepish meWhile we sleeping in a deep-deep sleepAnd I be hazed and dazed andVipers fester in my hairBlack mother, I curse your drudging yearsThe rapes, heart-breaks, sweat, and tearsBut I swear on siege nightDark and gloomA rose I'll wear to honor youAnd when I fall the rose in handYou will be free and I a manfor a slave of natural death who diescan't balance out to two dead fliesI'd rather be without the shameA bullet lodged within my brain, black mother
