Makes Me Wanna Holler
Makes me wanna holler
This way of life.
Makes me wanna holler.
This is too much strife.
Makes me wanna holler.
All of my life I wanted much sucess.
All of my life I did my best.
Makes me wanna holler
All of the dollars are in the hands of others
It makes me wanna holler
As I a qualified individual continues
To struggle to get my voice heard.
It makes me wanna holler
That I'm still not getting what
I really deserve. I can truly feel
That Marvin Gaye song. This
Ain't living. Nothing around me
Is giving me or the God that
Made us glory. Makes me wanna
Holler. All of this education,
No summer vacation, No
Screaming and shouting
Victory. People hating on
Me. My total life history.
Makes me wanna holler.
This place is filled with
Total pity and misery.
No glory. My story.
My life. Still strife.
Makes me wanna holler
What an allegory!
Makes me holler.
Tripping out. No doubt.
No clout. Makes me wanna holler.
One day I'll holler victory is
Mine. Makes me wanna holler.
This is a crime. Makes me
Wanna holler for the last time.
A sin and a shame to be here
And no one is to blame but me
But I just know that one day
I'll holler that victory is my name.
Makes me wanna holler this last
Time. My name is victory and I'm
Going to win and life around here
Will be fine.
