My Mama's No Dog Nor Garden Tool!

by Lennox V. Farrell



My Mama no dog nor garden tool And I no hound and you no fool.

Born from woman, conceived to man Husband, wife and marriage plans.

Now man myself, excuse moi: a wife, a daughter, nieces, too,

Many slangs I hear: painful on my ear, Oh! my heart my soul

I'll play my part to make you whole?



So I'll shape some words that hurt to heal Man may succeed or man may fail

But try I will walking this fine line And walk I will `cause you're mine mine mine

As student, as parent, as friend or foe I'll do what's must; save you from woe

Father conscious, man righteous You the young adult going with the flow,

Do what I can though you think me slow.



CHORUS:

For God say yes, to the Devil say no.

For God say yes, to the Devil say no (R).

My God, no bitch; my Mother, no ho.

My God, no bitch; my sister, no ho (R).



My mother my sister My God - say so (Repeat)!



There's word a-goin' round that I must dispell.

That there ain't no heaven; there ain't no hell (R).

No Heaven no heaven; no hell no hell.

Dispell, misspell, no hell hell hell (R)!





CHORUS

For God say yes to the Devil say no!

For Heaven say yes to Hell don't go (R).

My Mama, no bitch Holy Spirit, no ho.

My Mama, no witch; Aunt Flo, no ho (R)



My Mama, my aunt Holy Spirit - say so (Repeat)!



Every woman is mate Every booty is bait,

Man-man will wait on no woman, not Kate (R)

Educate, educate edu-cate cate cate

Not on Kate, not on Kate man will not wait (R).



CHORUS:

For wisdom say yes, to the fool say no.

For God say yes, pornography say no (R)

My God, no bitch, Grandma, no ho

My God, no bitch, my sister, no ho (R)

Grandma, Sister Kate Holy Spirit - say so! (Repeat)



A woman's gonna cry Her man's gonna die

Every good is a lie Temptation I try (R)

And don't come to I, and ask I: Why?

Why cry? why lie? why die? why I? (R)



CHORUS:

Righteousness yes, Babylon no

For prayer say yes; peer pressure say no (R)

Was I born from a bitch, Is my daughter a ho?

Is Life a bitch, Education a ho (R)



And God a woman? no hiding-place to go (Repeat)



Every teacher every preacher Disrespect disrespect

Unmarried sex, Oh heck! what's next (R)

The baby's  Mama: she Tyranosaurus Vex

So vex, what's next? no self-respect (R)



CHORUS:

For God say yes to the Devil say no.

For Life say yes to the Death say no (R).

My God, no bitch; my Mother, no ho.

I'm not born from a bitch; my daughter, no ho (R).



My mother my sister and I - say so! (Repeat)



Your Mama, no dog nor garden tool; and you no hound and you no fool.

You born of woman, conceived to man; Mother, Father, marriage bans.

Soon man yourself, father also With a wife, daughter, family, too,

Come what may, compliments each day Building up her role lifting up her soul

Playing your part to keep her whole?



So shape some words that heal to heal Man may suck salt, man may succeed.

Still walk this line, this fine fine line And walk because she's thine thine thine,

As spouse, as parent, as friend also You do what you can so her joy to flow,

A wife conscious, to her man righteous as Shadrach Meschach Abednego,

For God's never late though like me, He's slow.
