mama debt - iceberg slim (author) lyrics

since i was just a boy, i punished hoes with sick joy
for pimping, i’ve been to the joint, and that ain’t “ha, ha”
up that way, i heard a shrink say:
“son, it appears to me you hate your mama”
“doc,” i pleaded, “i want to be fare: can i make it up somewhere?”
“from the start,” he sighed, “you’ve amount to hard
you’ve lived like satan’s pet, i bet n0body can pay a mama debt”
i heard my [?] back to the cell, where i was winding up and ace
my cell had sp*ced like a casket
shortly, a [?] showed with his basket
he brought a letter from ray, in la, this is the news bro ray had to tell:
“all of us here wish you well
we are crying ’cause ma is dying
she’s moaning your name, praying you ain’t no lame
and wishing you get here ‘fore she passes
[?], don’t dally there with them foul hoe asses
don’t arrive late, don’t jive with ma’s fate”
i felt like a triple double crosser. i could’ve k!lled that grinning hack [rosser?]
to la that week, i got a one*way ticket
poor ma’s hair was a snow white thicket
before ma opened her eyes, i thought my ticket would cease
ma was playing possum to shoot me through hot grease
i heard a titter, ma’s voice was bitter:
“you got here! ain’t you mama’s precious dear!”
“i got good news, ma.” i said. “i threw away my long shoes!
ma, i ain’t shucking, i’m tired of joints and police ducking!
i quit the pimp game, ain’t got a hoe!” i claimed
“i’ll play the square way to keep old wolf at bay”
ma rolled up her eyes and whispered:
“sweet man, hush them lies! you gonna get a pimp mobile with a night time glow
some rainbow suits and some low*life hoes
you goin’ get your nose froze with crystal blow”
i said as i struck ma’s red hot growl:
“i swear, i’m staying now. ma, i mean it to the bone, please don’t leave me alone!”
“but [kicker?],” she said, “i ain’t no hoe, don’t sugar mouth me anymore!”
i put my face on ma’s [?] and plead:
“please, ‘ma, your doctor said, he may believe all be dead!”
i smelt death on her breath when she spoke, she sighed:
“only jesus loves this old ugly joke”
then ‘ma said with a bitter smile:
“you’re too late, sweet jesus told me it’s heaven i rate
he and the father is trying my case, stood right there, smiling glory in my face”
i said:
“‘ma? jc ain’t for real, i am! he’s just a ghost playing scam everywhere
he’s gonna jim crow you up there!
‘ma, remember down here? jc was unfair
remember how you slaved for the white folk?
all your life you bought their okey dokes
‘ma, give me a break, for your kid’s sake!”
but only a stare. ‘ma beamed into nowhere. then ‘ma said:
“hush that blasphemy, god’s here! lucifer, you’ve wasted your scheming!”
i cried:
“‘ma, touch me, i’m your kid you can feel! you can’t see jc for real!”
then ‘ma sang out with glead:
“oh, sweet jesus, my ecstasy! you got my old head spinning
you saved the father, forgave my sinning”
“‘ma, ” i shouted, “you ain’t never seen that tough! mama, mama, can’t you see jc is playing stuff?”
‘ma’s voice got low, talking about times long ago
and how she dressed hair door to door:
“madam, may brown will make your hair shine and [?]
bless [?]’s trumpet, twitch love, no strumpet can sneak between
costs 50 cents, buys a sinch. you won’t lose no ball
and if you lone, you catch one soon for sure!
please, lady, hold my baby
ain’t he the cutest ever seen?
yes, madam, i’m a country girl. no shoes ’til i was sixteen
‘fore he was any size at all, his ‘pa throwed him ‘gainst the wall
ain’t that cold? poor baby wasn’t six months old
but i know the black nation has yet to see the final lawyer, than he’s to be?
sweet jesus, you’re here to take my hand?”
[?] much, dying is grand
i kissed her dead face and held her in a last embrace
i [?]:
“‘ma, it’s my fault you died with your heart torn
‘ma, you should’ve wasted me the second i was born!”
[?], that shrink wanna bet
ain’t no way to pay
a mama debt
