The 24-Carat Black
Mother’s Day
(Mother’s Day)
[Chorus]
Mother’s Day is coming now
Food stamps on the way
Brothers day is [hummin’?]
It’s time to make his play
Say it one more time!
[Chorus]
[Verse 1]
His babies are expecting now
Momma’s gonna be neglectin’ now
Daddy’s comin’ round
To take a momma on the town
Long rides cruise the main street
Sides and alleys too
Quick, slick tricks are being turned
By people like me and you
So this is what we have!
[Chorus]
Say it one more time!
(Mother’s Day)
Food stamps on the way
Brothers day is [hummin’?]
It’s time to make his play
[Verse 2]
No foul weather’s accruing
And yet the welfare keeps a growin’
Taxes reach the skies
Welfare birth rates rise
[?] to labor
Show no one any favor
Make them understand
The cost of helping hand
They’ll wash us out with glee
Politicians agree
But between you and me
The day we’ll never see
So this is what we have!
[Chorus] x2
[Verse 3]
The man shakes his head
His city’s in the red
No money to be found
To clean up the bankrupted town
Renters are on the increase
Checks are on the bounce
Troubles never seem to decrease
And come [?] pat on the ass
So this is what we have!
[Chorus] x3
(Mother’s Day) Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day
(Mother’s Day)
(Mother’s Day)
(Mother’s Day)
Food stamps…
Brother [?]…
(Mother’s Day) Mother’s Day, Mother’s Day
(Mother’s Day) …is coming
(Mother’s Day) … Can you feel it?
Mother’s Day
(Mother’s Day)
Feel it, feel it, feel it
Mother’s Day (Mother’s Day) Mother’s Day
(Mother’s Day) (repeat to end)
