Make Me Wanna Holler- MeShell NdegeOcello[00:00:02]

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

And my father[00:00:40]

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

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

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

I remember[00:00:57]

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

Just to come home[00:01:02]

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

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

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

The soul stations yeah[00:01:14]

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

But my mother[00:01:21]

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

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

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

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

Her sadness[00:01:41]

Make me wanna holler[00:02:06]

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

Make me wanna holler[00:02:13]

Make me wanna holler[00:02:16]

Make me wanna holler[00:02:18]

Baby[00:02:22]

Make me wanna holler[00:02:24]

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

What will i be [00:02:34]

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

I＇d never be[00:02:41]

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

I would ask myself [00:02:48]

＂did he feel so much pain[00:02:49]

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

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

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

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

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

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

Wanting love so badly[00:03:17]

That i＇d do anything[00:03:21]

No matter the shame[00:03:25]

Make me wanna holler[00:03:39]

I [00:03:41]

Love me[00:03:44]

Make me wanna holler[00:03:45]

Tell me[00:03:49]

Make me wanna holler[00:03:50]

Mmm so sorry[00:03:54]

Make me wanna holler[00:03:56]

So sorry[00:04:00]

Why [00:04:04]

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

To ask my father ＂why ＂[00:04:09]

But my mother[00:04:12]

She would say [00:04:13]

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

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

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

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

When night fell[00:04:31]

Sometimes when night fell[00:04:32]

I＇d close my eyes[00:04:34]

And i＇d hide[00:04:36]

Close your eyes[00:04:37]

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

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

With a dark face[00:04:42]

Of being belittled disrespected[00:04:44]

And set aside[00:04:47]

His liquor the salve[00:04:48]

For the unseen wounds[00:04:54]

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

What did i learn [00:05:01]

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

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

Make me wanna holler[00:05:34]

Make me wanna holler[00:05:36]

Sometimes i get so [00:05:38]

Make me wanna holler[00:05:40]

I just don＇t understand[00:05:42]

Why [00:05:44]

Make me wanna holler[00:05:45]

Tell me why[00:05:47]

Mmm so sorry[00:05:48]

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

Make me wanna holler[00:05:52]

So sorry[00:05:53]

I＇m so sorry[00:05:54]

Just play for me[00:06:05]

Play for me[00:06:07]

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

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

She would close her eyes and cry[00:06:59]

After all this time[00:07:17]

Nothing＇s changed[00:07:21]

Make me wanna holler[00:07:28]

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

Yes i do[00:07:32]

Make me wanna holler[00:07:34]

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

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

Make me wanna holler[00:07:40]

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

Make me wanna holler[00:07:45]

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

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

Deserved so much more[00:07:54]

But i never knew how to fix that[00:07:57]

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

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

No[00:08:08]

Mama i love you[00:08:09]
