See looka here, wanna see my gun
It's an Uzi and it packs a lot of punch
It sure is loud, I got it fixed
You wanna feel, you wanna touch this little bitch
I wanna testify, it's a crazy world out there
I wanna tell ya now, it's a brutal world out there
I'm just a mother of a man
I've got the stopper in my hand
Judge and jury help me please
Ain't gonna get down on my knees
Oh no, god help me now
You know my wife, she don't feel safe
Since we had a lot of trouble near our place
These kids are poor, I know it's hard
But why'd they have to do it in their own backyard
I wanna testify, it's a crazy world out there
I don't know what to tell you, it's a barbaric world out there
I'm just a mother of a man
I wanna take the witness stand
Judge and jury help me please
The sirens sound, the streets all bleed
I'm just a mother of a man
Just a mother of a man
Oh yeah, God help me now
I wanna testify, it's a crazy, crazy, crazy world out there
I wanna tell ya now that it's a barbaric world out there
I'm just a mother of a man
I wanna take the witness stand
Judge and jury help me please
The sirens sigh, the streets all bleed
I'm just a mother of a man
Here I stand, here I stand
I'm just a mother of a man
Yeah, God help me now
