Madonna (And Other Mothers In the Hood) feat. Nikki Jean (Tetsuo & Youth)
[Intro: Lupe Fiasco] Immaculate mother of the holy soul On behalf of the overdose We come to you uncomfortable in our ways Please don't slam the door all in my face
[Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco] Tried to go to church, church ain't work Still want to kill niggas Tried to go work, but work ain't work Work ain't work for the feel nigga Really make me feel like a field nigga Make me feel worse, really tryna' chill But inside I feel like a steel mill, nigga And it's hard when these niggas steal mama What, when you and God gotta mill still mama Living off a meal deal mama Can't stunt with them lil wheels mama Need a real purse real heels mama How dem liquors and them pills feel mama, lil mama
[Bridge 1: Nikki Jean] No man shall prosper Lord knows if I said it, it's gospel, lil mama Madonna No man shall prosper Lord knows if I said it, it's gospel, your momma Madonna
[Hook: Nikki Jean & Lupe Fiasco] No man shall touch this Lord said nobody can fuck with, your momma Madonna
[Bridge 2: Lupe Fiasco] I be just trying make it (x4) They be just trying break us (x4)
[Verse 2: Lupe FIasco] White T on they shoulders What drags em off through the streets In the whip wit' they soldiers Stations of the police Trying to stick all this time to me Trying to stick all these crimes to me Could you just send a dime to me Mama please send a sign to me What's looking like life? Is probation and a fine to me Lawyer said I'd be alright But I think that he lying to me They really wanna throw those lines to me Put me in a line, put the knives to me Put me in the sky, put it to my side Then push it inside of me
[Bridge 3: Lupe Fiasco] Holy mother of the blessed soul They don't love you there They love you here I love you like I'm Mexico Say: (Santa Maria, Madre de Dios Ruega por nosotros pecadores Ahora y en la hora de nuestra muerte) Amen
