[Intro]
Mother, mother (Mother, mother)
Everybody thinks we're wrong (Mother, mother)
Who are they to judge us? (Mother, mother)
Simply 'cause we wear our hair long (Mother)
Ooh (Ooh, oh)
Ooh (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Dah-dah-la-la, da-da-dada-da-da
Dah-dah-la-la, da-da-dada-da-da
Dah-dah-la

[Verse 1]
Rockets, moon shots
Spend it on the have-nots
Money, we make it
Before we see it, you take it

[Chorus]
Oh, make me wanna holler
The way they do my life (Uh, ooh)
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
This ain't livin', this ain't livin'
No, no, baby, this ain't livin'
No, no, no, no
[Verse 2]
Inflation, no chance
To incrеase finance
Bills pile up sky high
Sеnd that boy off to die

[Chorus]
Oh, make me wanna holler
The way they do my life (Hey, yeah)
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life (Oh, baby)

[Verse 3]
Hang ups, let downs
Bad breaks, set backs
Natural fact is
Oh, honey that I can't pay my taxes

[Chorus]
Oh, make me wanna holler
And throw up both my hands
Yeah, it make me wanna holler
And throw up both my hands (Oh, ow)

[Verse 4]
Crime is (Woo) increasin'
Trigger happy policin'
Panic is spreadin'
God knows where we're headin' (Oh, baby)
[Outro]
Oh, it make me wanna holler
They don't understand
Oh, it make me wanna holler
They don't understand
Oh, baby
