You're Gonna Make Your Momma Cry

(album: Mitakuye Oyasin Oyasin / All My Relations - 1996)

Hey boy, you're gonna make your momma cry
You're gonna bring crocodile tears from her eyes
You're gonna break her tender heart in two
If she finds out what you been up to
Boy one day you're gonna make your momma cry

Tried to make you finish school
You thought you knew it all
Man you ain't nothing but a fool
Headed for a fall
Smoking that crack and toting that gun
You headed straight for murder one
Hey boy, you're gonna make your momma cry

Hey boy, you're gonna make your momma cry
You're gonna bring crocodile tears from her eyes
You're gonna break her tender heart in two
If she finds out what you been up to
Boy one day you're gonna make your momma cry

That gang you're with ain't nothing no damn good
Get out while there's still time
They're killing off the whole neighborhood
You know that it's a crime
They got no heart, they got no soul
Don't let the devil take control
Boy, you're gonna make your momma cry

Well, her pride and her joy
Always be her baby boy
Love is so strong
She's gonna love you right or wrong
She brought you into this world
Don't make her watch you die
Boy you're gonna make your momma cry

Hey boy, you're gonna make your momma cry
You're gonna bring crocodile tears from her eyes
You're gonna break her tender heart in two
If she finds out what you been up to
Boy one day you're gonna make your momma cry
