years ago when momma put me on her shopping list
was she wondering if I’d be a risk
would I be something she could not resist
was she wondering if I’d be a risk
was momma ready for my violent cries
and unexpected things she’d find in my eyes
like a movie where the hero dies
the unexpected things she’d find in my eyes
and it makes me tremble
it makes me quiver
it stops my heart
like a canaan shiver
momma gave me life but
hey, I forgive her
how else could I have come to know
this canaan shiver
years ago when momma put me in her master plan
did she envision me as a modern man
when she held my little baby hand
did she imagine me as a modern man
momma told me stories of the past
so that I might learn about the things that last
now that the present’s fading fast
I’m looking down the road at the things that last
