What we do today matters tomorrow
I heard mama sing with so much sorrow
She taught me to lead, to never follow
Never follow lead
So when she lost her third son to violence
She walked crooked from the people's silence
She woke up each day on a lonely island
They're lonely island breeze
I barely get sleep
I barely get sleep
I barely get sleep no more
I barely get sleep
I barely get sleep
I barely get sleep
No more, no more, no more
No more, no more, no more
The trigger man grew ten extra fingers
When Superman left the burning building
'Cause he could not relate to all the killing
Of black, on black children
Unspeakable acts ungodly things
The stress poured inside her nerves and veins
She smoked everything to kill her pain
Smoked everything for the pain
I barely get sleep
I barely get sleep
I barely get sleep no more
I barely get sleep
I barely get sleep
I barely get sleep
No more, no more, no more
No more, no more, no more
Oh when the fire keep on burning
When the fire keep on burning
She says
"Lord what the hell has happened to me?"
Oh oh
Give me your tired and poor
Get back, gotta get sad, sad
"Lord what the hell has happened to me?"
It's coming down on me
I barely get sleep
I barely get sleep
I barely get sleep no more
I barely get sleep
I barely get sleep
I barely get sleep
No more, no more, no more
No more, no more, no more
