He was their precious. He was their prodigal son
He grew up hearing "You're such a fortunate one
No need to think or wonder what you're all about
Your mommy and your daddy have it all planned out."
Then came the one day when he was conscious and grown
He came to realize he had no life of his own
And when he dared to try to walk down his own road
What he thought was home, he saw it all explode
(So where'd he go?)
Every time they run from you there's someone else they're running to?
Where they running to?
Rattle your saber and watch them flee
Smother them with your hypocrisy
Rattle their cages til they break free
Suffer your children come unto me
She was his princess. She was his one shining light
He was her hero. Daddy had everything right
The fairest of the fair, so cultured and refined
Til she brought home a young man of "another kind"
He wouldn't have it. "Abomination", he said
She said "I love him!". He said "I'd rather be dead!"
And as she turned away in burning tears said he:
"No dirty n***a lover could have come from me!"
She was their angel. She was their number one love
A gift from Jesus, sent down from heaven above
Sent off to Catholic school and always earned straight A's
And by the will of God not set in sinful ways
Then came the day she came home with something inside
The gates of vengeance unlocked and flew open wide
And running from their anger she could hear them yell:
"You filthy, little who*e! You both will burn in hell!"
Rattle your saber and watch them flee
Smother them with your hypocrisy
Rattle their cages til they break free
Suffer your children come unto me
Suppress their nature until they see
That you've become the real enemy
Pa** down your rage at what they can't be
Suffer your children come unto me
