never was you fault
was it
all these things you knew
late nights i'd give myself up to be fed
wolves love late night sugar, thick with cornbread and milk so creamy
no-one came looking
baby gurl done made spread with body laid out buffet
wanted to die before eyes knew what dying was surrounded by money makers poor and alone and stupid
all these things you knew
home sweet home calling left some precious things there and God let me live another day
foodstamps and wic didn't keep and sometimes there were needs
you got it there like Maya say
like Gold mines...you can barter it honey
children aint got to be hungry
often times, it don't last long
....it only stain the inside (nothing wine can't get rid of)
all these things you knew and it never moved you
choose cries over cries
close doors and open holes
and all they know...is sleepy eyes
wake to love in cornbread, sugar and milk
filling those precious things so so precious things
I agree with Regis.....
