[Intro: Meechy Darko]
I know sometimes life is hard, and you wanna give up
But did your mama give up when she was givin' birth to yo' ass?
I know the Bible tells us you the reason we all cursed
Ladies, know your worth, for you are Mother Earth
The universe is inside of you
And you birth kings, queens, pharoahs and empresses
The kundalini balance in your spine, you are divine
Look inside and realize you are a goddess
'Cause there's no us without you, mothers
[Chorus: Erick Arc Elliott]
Don't we know, don't we know, don't we know
Don't we know, don't we know, don't we know
Don't we know, don't we know, don't we know
Don't we know, don't we know, don't we know
Don't we know, don't we know, don't we know
Don't we know, don't we know, don't we know
Don't we know, don't we know, don't we know
Don't we know, don't we know, don't we know
[Verse 1: Erick Arc Elliott]
I was born this way, this has been more than a scheme
Oh Lord, I done put my work in, word to my n***a Akeem
Mama can see this, she seen, mama can live by all means
But she's been blinded by society's standards of low self-esteem
That's no metaphor or no simile
Tell you that my moms can't really see
Knowin' diabetes was the enemy
Still I eat greasy, palms all greedy
Dog, what, I shout you out on the CD
Aw, never been a contact, I've been involved
Mama don't cry no more
Word to life, I seen a n***a die on tour
[Bridge: Erick Arc Elliott, Erick Arc Elliott & Diamante, Diamante & Meechy Darko]
I done seen some losses, and I seen some things
No matter big or small, rich or poor, oh, this is war
I know you wanna be the shit, I just want my mama see this shit
But (Oh Lord), oh Lord (Get yours), gotta get mine (Get yours)
[Verse 2: Zombie Juice]
Box life, question marks over my head
Waitin' for my princess every night, was nothin' there
Raggedy like Ann or, any often am I a orphan?
Are we important? Is the world important as the faith we choose?
Is what I consider being the truth, to you?
Look left, look right, dreamed it every night
My mama gone, no, no mama home
As cold as it gets, got to move on
She gave her life for what is me
And for that, I am thankful as can be
A hero, destiny, I'll be on my way soon
And together we can bloom, run off to the moon
It's not what you thinkin', I ain't have my moms for spankings
So anxious, impatient, taught myself how to face it
To the brothers, and the sisters, no wishlist, no Christmas
Just a witness of a vicious, abusiveness system
This is the proof in music, hold your head, you can do it
This is the proof in music, hold your head, you can do it, do it
[Verse 3: Diamante & Meechy Darko]
I just want my mama see this shit, but (Oh Lord), get yours
This is for the mamas, who pregnant at sixteen
Livin' off of welfare, never make the big screen
This is for the mamas, live in public houses
Livin' off of foodstamps, and I hope them shoes fit
Always on that new shit, mama made me do it
Talk a lot of shit so, this is a solution
[Interlude: Erick Arc Elliott]
Yo
Yo
Sike
[Chorus: Erick Arc Elliott]
Don't we know, don't we know, don't we know
Don't we know, don't we know, don't we know
Don't we know, don't we know, don't we know
Don't we know, don't we know, don't we know
