Into Fundisha Talking:
|
I remember growing up in Newark and hanging out with the girl next door and
|
She never want to go home because her parents were always fighting
|
I ran into her the other day, and I ask her how she was doing
|
And she just started crying,and my heart really went out to her
|
And I ask her what's wrong , And as she began to wipe the tears from her eyes
|
this is what she told me-
|
|
Chorus:
|
Momma never taught me how to be lady
|
If she did I never would of has this baby
|
Poppa never taught me right from wrong
|
He was was never home poppa was a rolling stone
|
(Repeat one more time)
|
|
Verse 1:
|
Poppa use to drink alot and
|
Momma use to walk around smoking pot
|
So they never heard a single word I said
|
that's why I use to walk the streets at night when I should of been in bed
|
Never heard me crying in the night cause all they did was fuss and fight
|
(fuss and fight)
|
Now I don't know where to turn
|
Never Taught, Never Told
|
|
Chorus:
|
Momma never taught me how to be lady (Momma never taught me)
|
If she did I never would of has this baby (no)
|
Poppa never taught me right from wrong
|
(He was never home see my poppa was a rolling stone) He was was never home
|
poppa was a rolling stone
|
|
Momma never taught me how to be lady
|
If she did I never would of has this baby
|
Poppa never taught me right from wrong
|
He was was never home poppa was a rolling stone
|
|
Verse 2:
|
See I was in a house that was not a home
|
So I left because of it and not belong
|
Then I fell in love with a man
|
who said that he loved me but all he did was hit me with his hand
|
I thought things would get better in a little while
|
But instead it got worse when I had this child
|
I don't know what to do
|
Never taught, Never told(ooollldddd)
|
|
Chorus:
|
Momma never taught me how to be lady(Momma never told me)
|
If she did I never would of has this baby
|
(Poppa never told me)Poppa never taught me right from wrong
|
(oh my Poppa was a,Poppa was a, Poppa was a rolling stone)He was was never
|
home poppa was a rolling stone
|
|
Momma never taught me how to be lady(ooooooohhh)
|
If she did I never would of has this baby(oooohhh)
|
Poppa never taught me right from wrong
|
(He was never home, poppa was a rolling stone)
|
He was was never home poppa was a rolling stone
|
|
Momma never taught me how to be lady(ooohh)
|
If she did I never would of has this baby(wouldn't of never had this baby)
|
Poppa never taught me right from wrong
|
He was was never home(He was never home) poppa was a rolling
|
stone(poppa,poppa was rolling stone)
|
|
Verse 3(Ending):
|
See I wish they would of taught me
|
That in order to love me
|
I must guide myself first
|
Oh Momma why didn't you tell me Oh yeah
|
(Background:Never taught,Never told,Never Taught,Never told repeat)
|
So I began to tell my friends
|
what my momma told me
|
Thank you Jesus
|
Hallelujah
|
See she taught me that everything happens for a reason
|
And God knows how much you can bear
|
He'll make a way out of nowhere
|
Turn the dark night into day oh yes he will yes he will
|
Hallelujah,Hallelujah,Hallelujah
|
Hallelujah,Hallelujah,Hallelujah
|
See I'm tryna feel this thing right now
|
See I gotta feel this thing right now
|
because he made a way for me one day
|
when I was down and out
|
Didn't know what to do, Singing a little down dirty blues,dirty blues, dirty
|
blues
|
Down dirty blues (ohhhhhh) (ohhhhhh)
|
He'll be your mother when your mother left
|
He'll be your father when your father left
|
Oh, Hallelujah,Hallelujah,Hallelujah Lord
|
Hallelujah,Hallelujah,Hallelujah Lord
|
(Song Fading)Thank you jesus,Thank you jesus, Thank you Jesus Lord
|
Thank you jesus,Thank you jesus, Thank you Jesus Lord
