Verse 1:
Daddy don`t go out tonight,Just stay home till morning light,
Me and Mamma don`t feel right,Please hold us tight,
Daddy why did you go to work?,When you know just how much we love you so,
Please come back tomorrow.
Chorus 1:
They`re giving out guns in the ghetto,
They`re saying they will set you free,
One day i`ll have children of my own,But i`m afraid they won`t have me.
Verse 2:
Mamma is Daddy home?,Why are you crying all alone?,
C# * G# C#
Grandma`s tears have turned to stone,And i`m all alone,
Mamma isn`t Daddy back?,I`m getting scared and that`s a fact,
Why are we all dressed like that?,All,All in black.
