3. They Done Told Me
My Daddy done told me
Girl you are not dumb
You’re my little princess
So when’s my kingdom gon’ come?
No you won’t find me… walking around in glass shoes
No you can find me.. singing the real life blues
My mamma done told me
Girl you’ll be a star
So far my main stage is
Driver’s seat of my car
No you won’t find me… living the life they said I would
But I’m not so sure that they were right bout what’s bad and what’s good
Their Heaven, it don’t told me
Girl, if you don’t sin
If you hate on all pleasure and feel lotsa guilt,
I just might let you in
But you won’t find me…Shaking with fear, and scorching with blame
When I wiped that away, I found overflowing souls aflame
Professors done told me
I’d get a career
But all college sold me
Was these debts I won’t clear
How bout when they told me
Educations the key
I was looking without for so long
Couldn’t hear what’s within me!!
No you won’t find me… building myself on power and cash
I done left that rat race and that trophy built of dust and ash
And greed, it done told me
Girl you need these things
What you got’s not enough
now greed… tangled me up in strings
But the sky it done told me
Loving eyes told me too
You already got it
right Now within and all around you
So you can find me… with open eyes, dancin’ this ground
not lookin’ for nothing, since I …finally see what is here all around
