Words Never Written
Never forget just what my momma told me
Never forget just what she said
The talks we had then, proved her right
The dead have gifts, but there given at night
When the light is gone so you don’t need your sight
Never forget what my momma told me
Never forget just what she said
Plenty of questions from the dead who cant speak
Court full of peers with eyes that still leak
cause Excessive force on the living and weak
Never forget just what my momma told me
Never forget just what she said
She said I would learn to fall
dragging down the tall
And bury them while I crawl
never forget what my momma told me
never forget just what she said
She said you must crawl to walk
And learn to speak when you talk
Then you can run around with poppycock.
Never forget what my momma told me
Never forget how she lied
Never forget that my daddy told me
Just how much my momma cried
So here I am again my friends
Now all better again
Yet trying to set new trends
