Make Me Wanna Holler Lyrics

Make Me Wanna Holler lyrics

my mother used to whore herself

and my father

would reap the
benefits of her labor

it was almost as if she was absent

absent
from her own life 

i remember

she would scrub the floors for the
white folks

just to come home

to cook and to clean

for the
man who broke her

and i Love to watch her dance to the tunes on

the
soul stations, yeah

just to ease her mind 



but my mother

she was vindictive in her own fashion

so she passed down to me her
traits

like that of her brown eyes and her dark hair

she passed
down to me

her sadness 



make me wanna holler

the
sadness fills my heart

make me wanna holler

make me wanna holler

make me wanna holler

baby

make me wanna holler 



my
child will one day ask me

what will i be?

as a child i promised
myself

i'd never be 

like my mother or my father

i would ask
myself,

"did he feel so much pain

that it would make him wanna hurt
another?" 



but there was no excuse

there was no excuse to
make up for the pain

that i knew my mother felt 



but
somewhere my destiny came

that i too became a slave, to my heart

wanting Love so badly

that i'd do anything

no matter the shame




make me wanna holler

i...

Love me

make me wanna
holler

tell me

make me wanna holler

mmm, so sorry

make
me wanna holler

so sorry 



why?

i never got the
nerve

to ask my father "why?"

but my mother

she would say,

she stayed for my brother and myself

but i would have sold my soul

just to share in one day

of my mother's desired happiness 



when night fell

sometimes when night fell

i'd
