Mother hold your breath 'Cause I will never be Any of the things That you have planned for me Mother hold your tears 'Cause I am happy now My free and independent spirit Curses me somehow But I say You're not the only one Who lives and breathes this pain Don't be the holy one 'Cause if he comes again You're not the only one And God don't hold a grudge Father hold your fist 'Cause I will never be An image of yourself No perfect family Father it's too late To make a man of me I love against the gods But I don't scare too easily State your number and your cause Your black skin or your menopause Your cancer your identity You're not so different to me
