Rockets, moon shots
Spend it on the have nots
Money, we make it

'Fore we see it you take it

Oh, make me wanna holler

The way they do my life, yeah
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life


This ain't livin', this ain't livin'
No, no baby, this ain't livin'

No, no, no

Inflation no chance

To increase finance
Bills pile up sky high
Send that boy off to die


Oh, make me wanna holler
Way they do my life

Make me wanna holler
Way they do my life, oh yeah


Hang ups, let downs
Bad breaks, set backs
Natural fact is

Oh honey that I can't pay my taxes

Oh, make me wanna holler

Throw up both my hands
Yeah, make me wanna holler
Throw up both my hands


Crime is increasing
Trigger happy policing

Panic is spreading
God knows where we're heading


Oh, make me wanna holler
They don't understand
Yeah, make me wanna holler

They don't understand, oh

Mother, mother, mother, yeah

Everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us? Mother
Simply 'cause we wear our hair long
