Hello?
Mama, it's me
Charles!
I'm sorry it's late
No, no, we're awake
I just needed to hear your voice
Oh, it's so good to hear from you, baby
Oh, you'll never guess who's here, hold on
What's going on, boy?
A lot, Chester, a whole lot
Maybe I'll come home and tell you all about it
As a matter of fact, I'm coming home right now, motherfucker
What are these tears? Where did they come from?
From a walled-off place, from another time
From a boy who couldn't cry
Shame held down so long, I nevеr thought it would come out
But here it is, but hеre they are
Tears of anger and shame
A banner of pain
Tears from a walled-off place, from another time
The boy who couldn't cry
And someone must die
Bullets, blood, and death
Bullets, blood, and death
I was seven years old
Left alone to wonder for the rest of my life, what was my role in this betrayal?
Did I bring this on myself?
Is it the cause of this wanting?
The shapes that haunt my nights, asking, "What's going on, boy?"
And the boy doesn't cry
Bullets, blood, and death
Bullets, blood, and death
Prepare to die, motherfucker, prepare to die
And maybe the part of me I despise will die with you
