[00:35.909]My mother used to whore herself
[00:40.651]And my father
[00:43.313]Would reap the benefits of her labor
[00:47.664]It was almost as if she was absent
[00:51.593]Absent from her own life
[00:57.162]I remember
[00:58.472]She would scrub the floors for the white folks
[01:02.643]Just to come home
[01:05.940]To cook and to clean
[01:07.391]For the man who broke her
[01:11.720]And i love to watch her dance to the tunes on
[01:14.266]The soul stations, yeah
[01:17.173]Just to ease her mind
[01:21.754]But my mother
[01:24.246]She was vindictive in her own fashion
[01:28.676]So she passed down to me her traits
[01:32.260]Like that of her brown eyes and her dark hair
[01:38.035]She passed down to me
[01:41.435]Her sadness
[02:06.976]Make me wanna holler
[02:10.904]The sadness fills my heart
[02:13.029]Make me wanna holler
[02:16.768]Make me wanna holler
[02:18.428]Make me wanna holler
[02:22.474]Baby
[02:24.176]Make me wanna holler
[02:31.307]My child will one day ask me
[02:34.938]What will i be?
[02:39.201]As a child i promised myself
[02:41.556]I'd never be
[02:43.530]Like my mother or my father
[02:48.432]I would ask myself,
[02:50.122]"did he feel so much pain
[02:54.543]That it would make him wanna hurt another?"
[02:59.284]But there was no excuse
[03:03.157]There was no excuse to make up for the pain
[03:06.394]That i knew my mother felt
[03:11.018]But somewhere my destiny came
[03:13.219]That i too became a slave, to my heart
[03:17.217]Wanting love so badly
[03:21.634]That i'd do anything
[03:25.607]No matter the shame
[03:39.119]Make me wanna holler
[03:41.321]I...
[03:44.337]Love me
[03:44.993]Make me wanna holler
[03:49.341]Tell me
[03:50.674]Make me wanna holler
[03:53.465]Mmm, so sorry
[03:56.395]Make me wanna holler
[04:00.704]So sorry
[04:04.343]Why?
[04:06.994]I never got the nerve
[04:09.136]To ask my father "why?"
[04:12.264]But my mother
[04:12.884]She would say,
[04:14.042]She stayed for my brother and myself
[04:19.077]But i would have sold my soul
[04:22.416]Just to share in one day
[04:26.040]Of my mother's desired happiness
[04:31.006]When night fell
[04:32.717]Sometimes when night fell
[04:34.059]I'd close my eyes
[04:35.600]And i'd hide
[04:36.902]Close your eyes
[04:38.637]When they would yell and scream
[04:39.924]When my father would paint her
[04:43.119]With a dark face
[04:44.858]Of being belittled, disrespected
[04:47.183]And set aside
[04:51.249]His liquor, the salve
[04:55.102]For the unseen wounds
[04:59.889]I learned so much from him
[05:01.858]What did i learn?
[05:04.453]How to hurt all of those
[05:08.139]Who try to get too close
[05:34.000]Make me wanna holler
[05:36.439]Make me wanna holler
[05:38.357]Sometimes i get so...
[05:39.993]Make me wanna holler
[05:42.257]I just don't understand
[05:44.692]Why?
[05:45.596]Make me wanna holler
[05:46.996]Tell me why
[05:48.781]Mmm, so sorry
[05:51.561]So sorry for the pain
[05:52.225]Make me wanna holler
[05:53.176]So sorry
[05:59.441]I'm so sorry
[06:05.250]Just play for me
[06:07.804]Play for me
[06:25.700]She would close her eyes and cry
[06:37.115]He would close his heart and hide
[07:00.009]She would close her eyes and cry
[07:17.971]After all this time
[07:21.808]Nothing's changed
[07:28.381]Make me wanna holler
[07:30.770]Make me want to holler
[07:34.022]Yes i do
[07:34.432]Make me wanna holler
[07:35.972]Sell my soul just to see ya happy

[07:39.934]Make me wanna holler
[07:41.297]So sorry, so sorry, so sorry, yeah
[07:45.449]Make me wanna holler
[07:49.209]So sorry for the pain
[07:51.848]I always thought my mother
[07:54.278]Deserved so much more
[07:58.004]But i never knew how to fix that
[08:01.989]I drown myself in guilt
[08:06.143]I just don't know what to do
[08:08.869]No
[08:10.071]Mama i love you.
