I'm Asking

I'm asking all you mothers,

do your children take jive?

and God was just piled upon them

do you think they'll survive?

you send them to the movies

what you think that they'll see?

you know that that won't be love

that not breathing cheaply

A vagrant or a murderer

a rapist or a cheat

I missed your millions

and violence in our streets

I'm asking!

Yes, I'm Asking!

But Las Vegas bodies

are still not for your lives

i'm asking all you mothers,

do you tell your children lies?

how do you think they'll grow up

if they're weened upon a gun

or stories of how the stork

and bout you, your new start

a tear in the darkness

as a wellness fills there eyes

when truth is discovered

if they leave you - don't

don't you be surprised

I'm asking

Im asking all you mothers

Im asking

all you mothers to be

I'm asking

for the sake of our children,

don't take away the right

the right to be free

Im asking all you young girls

have you learned about lost pleasure

or did your parents bind tomorrow

restrain you from the treasure

Tell me, look behind you

was your mama really there?

your child looks alot like you

for her sake I hope you'll be fair

you want your kids to grow up

with the things you never had

then give them all there freedom

respect there values of good and bad

Yes, I'm asking
