My Mamma
My mamma done told me that my daddy is gone
My mamma done told me she's my only one
My mamma done protected me in the most loving cage
My mamma done never resolved her own rage
My mamma believes what she does is right
My mamma closes my eyes at the simplest fright
My mamma won't let me forget her pain
My mamma swears love ain't just a game
My mamma wants me to obey, to do what she say
And my mamma ain't willing to die, to bring about change
But, my mamma done gave me a body to name
