Black babies dropping like fruits
Vines be swinging, choirs singing, every day another one of us weeping,
weeping for another one of us leaking.
Black baby's body lying, another one unjustified; so we crying, and we trying, still, we won't get the truth so we continue dying.
Not a single one of us flying.
How can you claim that we have angels when they keep letting us down?
136 black babies and more, and not one angel been found.
8 months out of 12, new mamas birthing they babies to hell.
Black babies are dying.
They are dying.
We are dying.
If I were to.. when I were to go, raise havoc at my funeral.
Too many black babies buried with their black babies
and
too many black babies burying their black babies.
And still there's,
Black babies dropping like fruits, and the vines be swinging, and the choirs singing, and every day we weeping, and every day we weeping..
