[Sometimes I feel... like a motherless child]
(Yo yo guzzlin forties, let's get it on
fella, no doubt)
The wiley Wu-Tang comes back, Iron Man
strikes back
(Lou Diamonds, Tony Starks) Raid your whole
empire
No doubt!
[Verse One: Raekwon the Chef]
Rich man, poor man, read the headlines
Nigga getting murdered for spot and bigger
dimes
Jobs and drug wars
Living by gun law
Jailcats come home and want to take yours
As the young one, growing up broke me and my
people
as the self, huh, I guess we all in the same
boat
Think it, plus drinkin that 90-proof
Playin' on the roof sayin'
we need a next man to shoot...
[Sometimes I feel, like a motherless
child...]
[Verse Two: Ghostface Killah]
Yo, I know a rich kid, who got hit for three
bricks
Showin off his 850 plus, what a nice whip
Young blood guzzlin' fourties hussled in a
rain
Old Earth, shootin' dope in her veins
He never had it all, the kid loved basketball
Had a favorite song, "I Miss You" written by
Aaron Hall
Now back to the original, neighborhood,
criminals
Clocking dollars, by the hour like his
digital
Styrofoam silencers, he rolled around with
the
Wildest niggaz peeling caps known as the
Islanders
from Staten, where crazy clips be clappin
Slept in his principal spreads, threads, made
of satin
Labeled as the cow he had crazy beef
Seen him at the flicks, he pulled out on
Duke, Hez and Latief
But he fucked up, he shoulda kept it real and
went for kill
cuz if he don't, these niggaz with black
barrels will
But, shit will never calm down, one day
downtown
He dropped an ounce off
Money had slept like a nightgown
He rolled up in the Albee Square, relax like
he lived in there
Two kids was beamin him, them niggaz from the
movie theatre
One had all Guess on, lookin like he had a
vest on
The other felly pell tucked with a firearm
Movin slow, baseball hats, crazy down low
Word life God, this bull kag nigga gotta go
Oh shit! Bookhead, just bought a 5, G headed
King Tudpea
About the size of Little Maurice
We got to get up baby, no cousin, count to
ten
I'm runnin in my first instance, is to return
em the time is now
Warfare and pull delf
Remember me, the nigga from the UA and you
pulled out
Don't move don't even flinch
Fix em up, drop the head, don't want to get
blood in the tux
He burped, I shot him, bitch screamed out I'm
robbin him
Had to hit him ten more times make sure I got
him
Told the owner lay on the floor, shake the
comedy
Randy came out wacked out with a half a
shotty
I laughed, grab the King Tud head and the
cash
Then he shot my man in the ass and broke mega
glass
Damn, had to go out with a blast
I shot my way up out of the Albee fast
[Sometimes I feel, like a motherless child]
Oh shit, what the fuck?
This shit is horrible.

| MAHALIA JACKSON ~ Summertime/Motherless Child |
 |
Mahalia Jackson
born Oct. 26, 1911, New Orleans, La., U.S.
died Jan. 27, 1972, Evergreen Park, near
Chicago, Ill.
Mahalia Jackson, 1961.
The Bettmann ArchiveAmerican gospel music
singer, known as the "Queen of Gospel Song."
Jackson was brought up in a strict religious
atmosphere. Her father's family included
several entertainers, but she was forced to
confine her own musical activities to singing
in the church choir and
listening—surreptitiously—to recordings
of Bessie Smith and Ida Cox as well as of
Enrico Caruso. When she was 16 she went to
Chicago and joined the Greater Salem Baptist
Church choir, where her remarkable contralto
voice soon led to her selection as a soloist.
Jackson first came to wide public attention
in the 1930s, when she participated in a
cross-country gospel tour singing such songs
as "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands"
and "I Can Put My Trust in Jesus." In 1934
her first recording, "God Gonna Separate the
Wheat from the Tares," was a success, leading
to a series of other recordings. Jackson's
first great hit (eight of her records were to
sell more than a million copies each) was
"Move on Up a Little Higher," which appeared
in 1945. All the songs with which she was
identified—including "I Believe," "Just
over the Hill," "When I Wake Up in Glory,"
and "Just a Little While to Stay Here"—were
gospel songs, with texts drawn from biblical
themes and strongly influenced by the
harmonies, rhythms, and emotional force of
blues. Jackson refused to sing any but
religious songs or indeed to sing at all in
surroundings that she considered
inappropriate. But she sang on the radio and
on television and, starting in 1950,
performed to overflow audiences in annual
concerts at Carnegie Hall in New York City.
Jackson was enormously popular abroad; her
version of "Silent Night," for example, was
one of the all-time best-selling records in
Denmark. She made a notable appearance at the
Newport (Rhode Island) Jazz Festival in
1957—in a program devoted entirely, at her
request, to gospel songs—and she sang at
the inauguration of President John F. Kennedy
in January 1961. From 1955 she was active in
the Civil Rights Movement.
