Jelly`s Pierced Tattoo Black Flowers Lyrics

Black Flowers Lyrics

black flowers grow in the concrete ground
and wingtipped shoes try to crush
them down
some rare white roses from the ghetto understand
and it don't
change

brotha in the name of hood love
you're fallin into the drug
filled mud
but your mind is weak and you dont understand that
it don't
change

paint the flowers on your face
throw a peace sign in the
air
flowers on your face and love everywhere

green collard greens and
black eyed peas
hot buttered corn bread don't necessarily
make the only
black folks you ever did see
and that won't change

now let me break
it down so you can comprehend
i know some folks say that they
understand
i know you say you're only getting ends
and soulfood was just
the only thing they had and
that won't change

paint the flowers on
your face
throw a peace sign in the air

(jelly - at same time as
thy)
eeny meeny gipsaleeny ooh ah kinda meeny
atcha katchy liberache i
love u
said shirley temple thank she cute
all she c' wear is a bathin
suit
she c' wibble she c' wobble she c' do the splits
but i betcha $5 she
can't do
jelly on 1 foot 1 foot 1 foot
jelly on 2 foot 2 foot 2
foot
jelly on 3 foot 3 foot 3 foot
jelly on out

(thy - at same
time as jelly)
black flowers grow in the concrete ground
and wing tipped
shoes try to crush them down
but we ain't gonna stop and we won't be
robbed
the lack of recognition only makes us stand hard
like an
impenetrable door with a dead bolt latch.
exploding in your face like a hand
grenade, catch.
some rare white roses from the ghotto understand and to
educate the people you gotta tell it to em, man... so to them that
shout...
jelly on out
