mothers prayer lyrics
[verse 1]
lord, i’m not questioning
your majestic wonders to perform
but since you gave me
such a steep way to run
can’t you fix it for my baby’s son?
i know you only test in love
but please stop testing
just this one time
jesus, it always seems you go out to coffee break
when a black bray is next in line
[chorus]
just take your hands off that hambone, leroy
you just hold up there
’til i’m finished, boy
while i’m trying to fix it
with the savior for you
[verse 2]
lord, you know and i know they should
work full in drunk or something
when they named that game coon*can
tosses my soul to heaven
a black woman sure can
since they’re holding all the aces
givе my babies a peek in their hand
[chorus]
you just keep your eyеs
off the cobbler, cheryl
you just hold up there
’til i’m finished, girl
while i’m trying to fix it
with the savior for you
[verse 3]
lord, give them the strength to look down
when the welfare lady comes
and when she starts
our pot begin to make sure
you ain’t doing no fancy eatin’
and when the man at the ‘ployment
office, you been cheatin’
[chorus]
just, you stop fiddlin’
near the biscuits, milton
just you hold up there
’til i’m finished, son
while i’m trying to fix it
with the savior for you
[verse 4]
lord, my days are numbered
like the books, they won’t be here always
oh lord, take care of my little crows, lord
‘case you didn’t know
that’s black for “dumb”
you’ve got to help me lord, all i
got is this tired old mother’s love
[chorus]
devil gets all younglings who don’t listen
you just hold up there
’til i’m finished, children
while i’m trying to fix it
with the savior for you
[outro]
in the name of the father
and son, and the holy ghost
amen
