[Chorus]
Mama, let me
Go
I can’t feel this feeling anymore
Mama, help me
Stay
Ain’t no use cryin’
Over yesterday
[Saxophone solo]
[Verse 1]
Don’t throw stones in a glass house
Speak clearly with that glass mouth
Mean what you say
Say what you mean
And if you mean mean things, then
Make sure you air it out before you swing
Cuz that just ain’t the thing
No dirty laundry born here
Or broken skins or bruises
First one that scream loses
Sways and swings hearts
But words are fluid like water
Formin’ waves and pain in the body
Smile for me and let me know that it’s okay
Frown at me, don’t walk away
What you say?
What you say?
What you say?
Yeah
[vocalizing]
[Verse 2]
Tunnels have lights in the end
Corners have choices in the end
Turn them, run fast ‘til they bend
Or you might bend with them
I’m not giving up
I’m just trying not to give in
While looking up and
Thinking that everything will begin again
Everything that I was given
Everything that includes
What makes me feel like I want to stop living
Did I say that?
Don’t display that
That’s just a weakness
Don’t replay that
They’ll sit down and make me speechless
I’ll sit speechless
Body shamed
Mind blamed
Self talk, so strong
Walk strange, walk back
Like you rang your slang
Don’t hang your chest
Don’t hang no roses
No blame, no blind, just bleach
No rules, no teach, just preach
To the choir
Arms too short
No desire
You can’t fire
Is that felt?
Is that felt?
Is that felt?
Is that felt?
Some poetic, some prophetic
So many memories I wish I could edit
But to edit this wish would mean I would have to reject it
The curse is more like a blessing
Blessing’s just like the curse
One in the same
The tear that moistens the dry skin is to blame
See the smile that boasts my ego
Lessens another, but the
Warmth of my mother
Is just the cold wind over her shoulder
As she turns away
I say, “Come back”
But she’s not here to stay
I realize it, day after day
[Chorus]
Mama, let me
Go
I can’t feel this feeling anymore
Mama, help me
Stay
Ain’t no use cryin
Over yesterday
Mama, let me
Go
I can’t feel this feeling anymore
Mama, help me
Stay
Ain’t no use cryin’
Over yesterday
[Saxophone solo]
[Verse 1]
Don’t throw stones in a glass house
