lirik lagu caine casanova - nation, opposed to war
[intro: martin luther king jr]
“the time has come for america to hear the truth about this tragic war. i chosen to preach about the war in vietnam today because i agree with ghandi; that the hottest places in h-ll are reserved for those in a period of moral crisis.”
[verse 1]
dear coretta
i know you’re on the sunny side of life
but it’s raining somewhere else so that inspired me to write
you a letter of how i really feel
then make you understand
why i have to -ss-ssinate the only person you love to call your man
it’s not because i’m white
ignore the color of my skin
they sense danger and i fear for their anger if i don’t bend
so if i blend into a crowd full of hatred
please don’t offend
it’s the segregation spread through the nation that’s breaking men
so let me tell you about myself
i was young
i had a dream too
i wanted to build a ranch full of cattle right where the sun grew
with acres sitting on top of acres you’ll see with one view
but i f-cked over all my lease papers now i’m in this gun crew
now i’m stuck til the debt can get void
with a bunch of racist pr-cks
that hate the sound of his voice
so when it comes to your husband girl i don’t a choice
just have a mercy on my soul and promise that you rejoice
p.s. i’m sorry
[chorus]
dear coretta
take my hand and forgive my sins
dear coretta
bow your head and heal my sins
dear coretta
take my hand and forgive my sins
dear coretta
bow your head and heal my
heal my life
[verse 2]
dear coretta
i know that you’re anxious
i see jealously tainted
over pain that you’re misery painted
i’m more than thankful
you didn’t rat me out
no you ain’t switch when those bullets had missed
and split through your husband’s mouth
i’m well aware of hospital visits
it’s more to bare
when god stares at the gravesites i visit
knowing i did it
you got children with this n-gga
you had a foundation you’ve been building with this n-gga
now can all you do is remember
all the memories that frighten me
cause i’m the one that teared
all sheets and the brightest scenes inside the home you shared
so if you really want this knife in me
i completely understand
it was wrong to take the life of things you’ll never see again
[chorus]
dear coretta
take my hand and forgive my sins
dear coretta
bow your head and heal my sins
dear coretta
take my hand and forgive my sins
dear coretta
bow your head and heal my
heal my life
[verse 3]
i love martin
i wish i had chance to meet em
but there’s war sparking so eventually i’m gon see him
but not the way that imagined
they crackers brainwashed my memory
fed energy to make me his -ss-ssin
i’m consumed to this life of a hatred
but i refuse to overuse this power they created
i’m not amused to every move these racist crackers making
i’m still immuned because my skin is paler than this paper
lord where is satan when you need him?
it’s obvious death is the path i chose
so there’s my 187
now suicide is my goal
i can’t live with this guilt no more
i tore apart a home
now i’m tie my life onto this rope
and make sure that coretta know that i’m gone
[outro: martin luther king jr]
“there comes a time when silence is betrayal. the truth of these words is beyond doubt but the mission to which they call us is the most difficult one; even when pressed by the demands of inner truth. men do not easily -ssume the task of opposing its government’s policy. especially in times of war.”
