What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Muffled sound of fist on flesh
2
Blows to chest
3
No breath
4
Air gasps
5
You ain't nothing but white trash, bitch!
6
With each hit, each kick, each, broken rib
7
Crack, crack!
8
Bones are crying
9
Mommy's crying and bleeding
10
And pleading
11
And then
12
Daddy wants to fuck
13
Dick hard, swelled with power rush
14
And as if all that wasn't enough
15
Mommy's seven months heavy with birth
16
As, Daddy grunts and cursed drunk nothings in her bloodied ear
17
First, lullaby
18
First, son, will, ever, hear
19
And never forget
20
Mommy almost bled to death when she have him, finally
21
She'd already lost, three
22
Uterus-bruised, shredded, and weak
23
From being daily beat
24
And Friday nights were the worse and
25
Daddy never came with flowers
26
Instead he spent hours at some corner spot
27
With some bar pop named Cookie
28
Putting his thing down
29
Soiling Mommy's sheets with
30
Sweet, talk shit,
31
Cookie's cheap lipstick,
32
Hair grease, sperm, and Jezebel juice
33
To hell with the good news that
34
He was a father for the first time
35
His thirst for wine and women
36
Clouded his vision
37
No warm welcome for mother and son
38
Just
39
The rank smell of ass-crack, funk, and cum
40
But Mommy's prayerful strength-her best defense
41
She, burned the dirty linens
42
Made a fresh bed
43
Laid sleeping First Son down
44
And never made a sound
45
As she purged her scourge
46
With birth-blood and quiet tears
47
Watching as her fears and love and sacrifice
48
Lie there in his soft skin and new life
49
Breathing, dreaming, fresh from God's eye
50
Mommy's little survivor
51
Like, her
52
Mommy called crazy and scorned
53
Cause she two more born
54
One boy soon after
55
The girl much later and
56
Although they were both sung the same lullabies of hate
57
Her, First Son, the first one
58
Whose, womb-world was profaned
59
Came of age playing street games
60
With Stewie, Rezzie, and Little Brother
61
'Till his heart start to wither
62
In pain and shame
63
Blamed Mom for the wrong she let Daddy do to her
64
And him
65
Let, sins of the Father cause his innocence to wander
66
Found out amongst thieves
67
Chose to squander his dreams
68
Stopped believing in himself
69
Become prodigal with his life
70
Make impossible shit right with
71
Gang-ties, crime, lies
72
Erase wise, woeful words of Mother
73
Replaced them with absurdities of others
74
Who had also lost their way
75
Played a different kind of street game now
76
First Son plunged deep
77
Speak street-family vows
78
Espouse no causes but his own
79
See, he couldn't protect Mommy's neck from Daddy's grasp
80
Or, protect Mommy's ass from Daddy's wrath
81
Couldn't shield her ears from
82
Daddy's foul-mouthed, liquor-breath jeers
83
His only defense-served be confidence
84
Brown bottles housed his swift descent
85
Phones called cops on block frequent for his shenanigans
86
Now, Daddy and him twins in addiction
87
Driven to false-hearted heavens and friends
88
By liquefied demons
89
Had become what he despised from conception 'til end
90
Destined for a demise
91
Survived nine lives of staying high
92
Conning, jewelry-pawning, arrests, theft
93
Womanizing, only for money, never for sex
94
Bullet in chest, baseball bat to the head
95
Left for dead
96
So, eyes wide and glassy
97
Speech, slowed and slurred
98
Lips twitched with caked-up codeine candy
99
And mouth corners one December 24th
100
Mr. Hide and False Friend
101
Took final ride to suburban supplier
102
Shots were fired by the gray man
103
With shaky hand
104
But not shaky enough to miss
105
Hit, Lost Boy in back
106
So-called Friend runs for door
107
Leaves First Son blood-born
108
Lying alone in blood on cold floor
109
Death was the cause of
110
Returning to Innocence Lost
111
Baby 'Sis awake for dawn on Christmas morn
112
To Mommy's sobs and shakes
113
Daddy's silhouettes of regret
114
All past, omitted, and absolved by lost
115
As they clung to each other
116
Knowing
