Ends Lyrics - Will I Am

Dear mom, Alana's in her second trimester 

Stressed out 'cause I'm gone, she acting all extra 

We're happy 'cause she knows it's a girl 

But we doubtful if we should bring another one in the world 

An' the pic you sent with you, and the kids is da bomb 

I'm keepin' all my photos in my 23rd Psalm 

My best friend Armani lost her arm at the border 

Just tryin' to restore a little peace and order 

An' it's strange 'cause she reads the Koran 

Torn between what side she needs to be on 

Haven't slept for days, I squeeze Visine 

'Cause no man's eyes should see what I've seen 

Soldiers lost their mind, robbin', pillagin' 

Tomahawk missiles into civilian villages 

And they ease the pain with narcotics 

I'm scared but I'm tryin' to remain patriotic

My father, forgive us 

'Cause we know not what we doin' 

And my brothers, how we gonna tie up 

All these loose ends' 

And my mother, tryin' to use 

Ev'rything you taught me to keep it movin' 

And my brothers and sisters, how we gonna tie up 

All these loose ends' 

New message from mom, at Bringbackthetroopsdot.com 

At home they 'Nam, so sad you had to miss Shavonne's prom 

Just some songs off the Marvin Gaye 'what's Going On' album 

And her smile lit up the room 

She asks me if at night when she stares at the moon 

Is it possible at the same moment of time 

You're starin' as well' 'Cause you two were in tune 

Photos 

Your dad's Purple Heart now hangs over his ashes 

An' Trini's alive and wake up with hot flashes 

They say the disease's gastric 

Have yet to explain the migraines and rashes 

And have you seen what the price of gas is' 

We can't afford the property taxes 

We just want you back at home 

Where you belong with your family 

You're the backbone 

My father, forgive us 

'Cause we know not what we doin' 

And my brothers, how we gonna tie up 

All these loose ends' 

And my mother, tryin' to use 

Ev'rything you taught me to keep it movin' 

And my brothers and sisters, how we gonna tie up 

All these loose ends' 

Tell me how can we live this way 

We've gone so far astray, no one knows what to say 

We got young peoples lives at stake 

What is it gonna take for us to find a way' 

The world is changin', we in danger 

'Cause we ain't changin our behavior 

We behave like calm is nothing 

Ain't concerned with repercussions, ain't that somethin' 

Check 'em out now, pointin' fingers 

When they know how we got to this point of terror 

Precaution could have made the road clearer 

But we stuck with mediocre leadership 

So we'll just suffer 

Who knows what the hell is going on 

With conflicts they keep on growing 

It's a fucked up situation 

When you ain't got no education 

On the problem or know what it's about 

You gotta help me out
