I Can’t Hush

Lyrics for I Can’t Hush

We never had a chance to start it over Once our life began, we had to live 'em on out We had to live 'em on out With or without friends With or without parents Brothers or sisters We was in the midst of life kind We was on a planet I call it a mothership She had everything growing That us the humans needed Oh, when we think about her water Her water had all kinds of life formations That was giving birth and birth and birth and birth and Birth and birth and birth and birth and birth unto itself As I laid on my back Looking up into the heavens At all the stars That looked like little flickers of lights I looked deep I looked so deep Sometime I would fall off to sleep I let my eyes gaze deep within I remember looking at my mother, my grandmother and I wondered Why, why, why did they keep it all locked within their brains? Now that I'm an old man Now I know why kept all they did to themselves Kept all they did to themselves All the stressful moments All the abuses and abuses and abuses And their abuses and And they said nothing They just let them sink deep within I'd rather bury myself in my thought I said to myself Hush a little brother Harley Hush little Tonky McElroy Don't you cry Hush there little child There's more to reality And I'm gonna tell you why I can't hush I can't hush I'm the little baby that was born That cannot hush How can I be any more than I am? Just to pull myself To pull myself free How can I How can I reach How can I reach I need the black ropes of hope I need the togetherness Where we put our black hands together And act like a rope No matter what conditions we have to face We face them together I know that there are some that is blind and cannot see And there are some that cannot hear But we still can feel and we have emotions We have emotions We have emotions We have emotions
