"Kill Your Mama"
(Alicia Keys / Emeli Sande)

[Intro:]
Come on
Feel me
Yes

Shame on us, on your sons and your daughters
Thieve all your gold and we poison all your waters
Every piece of our soul is for sale
Now they bought us
Think we know it all
Then look where it got us

[Refrain 1]
Oh, mama, mama
Oh, mama, mama
We're crying to the wind

Tryina play God
We been fucking with genetics
All that you have given and we only disrespect it
The rate that we're going premature Armageddon
That's what gonna happen if we let it

[Refrain 1]
Oh, mama, mama
Oh, mama, mama
We're crying to the wind, mm

[Chorus:]
Is there any savin' us
We've become so dangerous
Is there any change in us
Even for the sake of love
How you gonna kill your mama
When only mama is gonna love you to the grave

Killing ourselves
Falling down with the sickness
Money is the king
It's a dirty bloody business
There will be no trial
But the child will always witness
If we are in love with hell
Why the hell would heaven visit

[Refrain 1]
Oh, mama, mama
Oh, mama, mama
We're crying to the wind

When mama gets the belt you gon' wish we didn't do it
Had your chance for redemption
But you fuckin' blew it
Now the weather is changin' it and the hurricane is movin'
Right in your direction
What direction are you choosin'

[Refrain 2]
Oh, mama, mama
Oh, mama, mama
Forgive us for your pain

[Chorus:]
Is there any savin' us
We've become so dangerous
Is there any changing us
Even for the sake of love
How you gonna kill your mama
When only mama is gonna love you to the grave

[Outro:]
How you gonna kill your mama
How you gonna kill your mama
