《Make Me Wanna Holler》歌词

[00:00:00] Make Me Wanna Holler - Me'Shell Ndegeocello

[00:00:36] My mother used to whore herself

[00:00:40] And my father

[00:00:43] Would reap the benefits of her labor

[00:00:47] It was almost as if she was absent

[00:00:51] Absent from her own life

[00:00:57] I remember

[00:00:58] She would scrub the floors for the white folks

[00:01:02] Just to come home

[00:01:06] To cook and to clean

[00:01:07] For the man who broke her

[00:01:11] And i love to watch her dance to the tunes on

[00:01:14] The soul stations yeah

[00:01:17] Just to ease her mind

[00:01:21] But my mother

[00:01:24] She was vindictive in her own fashion

[00:01:28] So she passed down to me her traits

[00:01:32] Like that of her brown eyes and her dark hair

[00:01:37] She passed down to me

[00:01:41] Her sadness

[00:02:06] Make me wanna holler

[00:02:07] The sadness fills my heart

[00:02:13] Make me wanna holler

[00:02:16] Make me wanna holler

[00:02:18] Make me wanna holler

[00:02:22] Baby

[00:02:24] Make me wanna holler

[00:02:31] My child will one day ask me

[00:02:34] What will i be

[00:02:39] As a child i promised myself

[00:02:41] I＇d never be

[00:02:43] Like my mother or my father

[00:02:48] I would ask myself

[00:02:49] ＂did he feel so much pain

[00:02:55] That it would make him wanna hurt another ＂

[00:02:59] But there was no excuse

[00:03:03] There was no excuse to make up for the pain

[00:03:06] That i knew my mother felt

[00:03:10] But somewhere my destiny came

[00:03:13] That i too became a slave to my heart

[00:03:17] Wanting love so badly

[00:03:21] That i＇d do anything

[00:03:25] No matter the shame

[00:03:39] Make me wanna holler

[00:03:41] I

[00:03:44] Love me

[00:03:45] Make me wanna holler

[00:03:49] Tell me

[00:03:50] Make me wanna holler

[00:03:54] Mmm so sorry

[00:03:56] Make me wanna holler

[00:04:00] So sorry

[00:04:04] Why

[00:04:06] I never got the nerve

[00:04:09] To ask my father ＂why ＂

[00:04:12] But my mother

[00:04:13] She would say

[00:04:13] She stayed for my brother and myself

[00:04:18] But i would have sold my soul

[00:04:22] Just to share in one day

[00:04:26] Of my mother＇s desired happiness

[00:04:31] When night fell

[00:04:32] Sometimes when night fell

[00:04:34] I＇d close my eyes

[00:04:36] And i＇d hide

[00:04:37] Close your eyes

[00:04:39] When they would yell and scream

[00:04:40] When my father would paint her

[00:04:42] With a dark face

[00:04:44] Of being belittled disrespected

[00:04:47] And set aside

[00:04:48] His liquor the salve

[00:04:54] For the unseen wounds

[00:04:59] I learned so much from him

[00:05:01] What did i learn

[00:05:04] How to hurt all of those

[00:05:08] Who try to get too close

[00:05:34] Make me wanna holler

[00:05:36] Make me wanna holler

[00:05:38] Sometimes i get so

[00:05:40] Make me wanna holler

[00:05:42] I just don＇t understand

[00:05:44] Why

[00:05:45] Make me wanna holler

[00:05:47] Tell me why

[00:05:48] Mmm so sorry

[00:05:51] So sorry for the pain

[00:05:52] Make me wanna holler

[00:05:53] So sorry

[00:05:54] I＇m so sorry

[00:06:05] Just play for me

[00:06:07] Play for me

[00:06:26] She would close her eyes and cry

[00:06:37] He would close his heart and hide

[00:07:00] She would close her eyes and cry

[00:07:17] After all this time

[00:07:21] Nothing＇s changed

[00:07:28] Make me wanna holler

[00:07:30] Make me want to holler

[00:07:32] Yes i do

[00:07:34] Make me wanna holler

[00:07:35] Sell my soul just to see ya happy

[00:07:38] So sorry for the pain

[00:07:40] Make me wanna holler

[00:07:41] So sorry so sorry so sorry yeah

[00:07:45] Make me wanna holler

[00:07:49] So sorry for the pain

[00:07:51] I always thought my mother

[00:07:54] Deserved so much more

[00:07:58] But i never knew how to fix that

[00:08:00] I drown myself in guilt

[00:08:06] I just don＇t know what to do

[00:08:08] No

[00:08:09] Mama i love you
