Elaine brown (interlude) Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[F]Can I do one more really quick?
So he said blow black mother, black mother
He always announce the title black mother,
this is rap
[C]This is hip hop, this is all that,

[Verse 2]
from the street
[F]Poetry from the street
Black mother
I must confess that I still breathe
Though you are still not free
What could jus[C]tify my crying start
Forgive my coward's [F]heart
But blame me not the sheepish me
For I be sleeping in a deep, deep sleep
And I be hazed and dazed
And vipers fester in [C]my hair
Black mother, I curse your drudging years
[F]The rapes, heartaches, sweat and tears
But I [C]swear I'll seize
[F]night's dark and gloom
A [C]rose I'll wear to honor you
And when I fall
A rose in hand
You'll be free, and I a man
For a slave of natural death who dies
Can't balance out two dead flies
I'd rather be without the shame
A bullet lodged within my brain
Black mother
