Do You Still Care - Tanya Stephens (坦娅·斯蒂文斯)[00:00:00]
Written by:V. Stephenson/A. Henton[00:00:01]
Where bubba grew up kept his tobacco chewed up[00:00:12]
And when they use to hang ropes they always kept two up[00:00:15]
Had crosses burning all night like the church blew up[00:00:18]
And if you didn't look like them they would f**k you up[00:00:21]
Time passed and bubba turned forty years old[00:00:25]
And all them jack Daniels started taking a toll[00:00:28]
Seem like bubba was about to make a final bow[00:00:31]
None of his friends from the Klan couldn't help him now[00:00:35]
Family gathered at his bed side ready to sing the blues[00:00:38]
When a doctor rushed in and said I got some news[00:00:41]
The good news is bubba[00:00:45]
I've found you a liver only bad news is it belongs to a nigga[00:00:46]
Do you care bout the texture of his hair or the cocoa[00:00:51]
Brown color of his skin[00:00:55]
Do you still care[00:00:57]
Do you still give a damn now your in the predicament your in[00:00:59]
Do you still care[00:01:04]
Does it still mean alot now you're the one who's needing the help[00:01:06]
Do still care[00:01:11]
Do you still find it hard to love your neighbor as you love yourself[00:01:12]
Now tell me why can't you accept me as I am[00:01:17]
Just the way I am now[00:01:26]
Where bigga grew up boys were suppose to be tough[00:01:31]
Girls were trophies every man always kept a few of[00:01:34]
When he was hurt and the tears would sting in his eyes his mother said[00:01:37]
Stop the noise yuh a girl' real boys don't cry[00:01:41]
He learn in order to be a man he had to know how to fight[00:01:44]
And had some very definitive rules about whats wrong or right[00:01:47]
He never had the luxury of being able to choose[00:01:50]
So to him for being different there was no excuse[00:01:54]
Bigga was hustling on the corner making some cash[00:01:57]
When he bumped into some beef that he had from the past[00:02:00]
He watched the guns raised and the bullets fly[00:02:04]
In disbelief as his friends all jumped in their rides[00:02:07]
Lefted him in the gutter didn't care if he died[00:02:10]
He was rescued by a car with a plates that said gay pride[00:02:13]
It would have been fatal that shot in your head[00:02:17]
They saved your life tho you always said chi chi fi dead[00:02:20]
Now do you care bout the clothes that they wear[00:02:23]
Would you rather if they left you there[00:02:26]
Do you still care what your friends wanna[00:02:29]
Think if they see you hanging out with a queer[00:02:32]
Do you still care[00:02:36]
Does it still mean a lot now your the one who's needing the help[00:02:38]
Do you still care[00:02:43]
Do you still find hard it to love your neighbor as you love yourself[00:02:45]
Now tell me why can't you accept me as I am'[00:02:49]
Just the way I am now[00:02:58]
And that's the reason why war can't cease[00:03:03]
If you nah look like me me a go pop my piece[00:03:06]
And that's the reason why we can't get along[00:03:09]
If you nuh do it my way then your doing it wrong[00:03:12]
And that's the reason why Iraqi babies gonna cry[00:03:16]
And more Palestinians and Israelis gonna die[00:03:19]
That's the reason why the world is in pain[00:03:22]
We say we want peace if reign but ah bullets again[00:03:26]
Now tell me why can't you accept me as I am'[00:03:29]
Just the way I am now[00:03:37]
Tell me why can't you accept me as I am[00:03:42]
Just the way I am now[00:03:51]
Tell me why can't you accept me as I am[00:03:56]
Just the way I am now[00:04:04]
Tell me why can't you accept me as I am[00:04:09]
Just the way I am[00:04:17]
Tell me why can't you accept me as I am[00:04:22]
Just the way I am now[00:04:30]
