SUSPENCE – (416) 837-2634
Track # 2 – “HUSH”
Verse 1:
There she was, trying to make it big in Hollywood
Tell her to sell her soul, yeah then she probably would
She’s so hungry for the life of a celebrity
She wants to get backstage so she can get with me
I didn’t choose this life, this life chose me
She’s outside, lining up where all the hoes be,
She got her nails done, she got her weave did
Nobody at home to take care of her three kids
Low self esteem trying to get the green
A nice model walk, yeah her step is mean
Put it all out there, just like a prostitute
She need to clear her mind so she can cop the loot
She got bills to pay, baby daddy ditched her
A snap shot of her life so take a picture
It’s not a pretty life, it calls for desperate measures
She’d fly away without wings but she aint got no feathers
Chorus:
Hush little lady, don’t you cry
I’m gonna sing you a lullaby
Wipe your face, honey dry your tears
Be secure and don’t hide your fears
Hush little lady, don’t you cry
I’m gonna sing you a lullaby
Oh please do not say a word,
Just let me buy you a little mockingbird
Verse 2:
She’d probably live it better if she could start life over
She’d probably stay away from all the people that might hold her
She wants to be somebody, she wants to have a purpose
A deep woman, people only know her at the surface
System failed her, she fending for her own ya’ll
No offering hands, not even any phone calls
Made some enemies, probably hurt a few
Just put yourself in her position, yeah insert of you
Made some mistake yo, but so have all us
She shouldn’t be an outcast when she’s a part of us
Heard it too many times, yeah it’s a common story
Feeling dark when the light shining down from glory
I see your head down girl, you need to pick it up
I’ll help you get your life right, so you can live it up
And I aint here to condemn because I have no place
You need to dream again, those goals hon’ you’ve got to chase
Chorus:
Hush little lady, don’t you cry
I’m gonna sing you a lullaby
Wipe your face, honey dry your tears
Be secure and don’t hide your fears
Hush little lady, don’t you cry
I’m gonna sing you a lullaby
Oh please do not say a word,
Just let me buy you a little mockingbird
Verse 3:
So you can live again and be proud to
Don’t let no man ever tell you what you’re allowed to
If anything you probably need some support
And no your past don’t act as a last resort (no)
That’s behind you, you need to find you
That innocent child that’s hidden up inside you
And we can do this hon’, can get through this hon’
And strip your life of all the baggage like a nudist hon’
And you can make the move and you can progress
Imagine a world, no pain no stress
And you can forget any and all mistakes made
All identity crises and fake names
You deserve a better life and your loved ones
In one lump sum, there’s nothing you should run from
Until next time be safe and keep strong
On solid ground you should keep your feet on
Chorus:
Hush little lady, don’t you cry
I’m gonna sing you a lullaby
Wipe your face, honey dry your tears
Be secure and don’t hide your fears
Hush little lady, don’t you cry
I’m gonna sing you a lullaby
Oh please do not say a word,
Just let me buy you a little mockingbird (x 3)
