Dana Dane - Chester lyrics

[Intro: newscaster] Alan Morton for Lifestyle News Out top story for tonight is child abuse And the effects it has on the family structure Film at 11 [Verse 1] Damn, every time I turn on the news Somewhere, somehow another child is being abused I'm confused What kind of people do we live among? They must be sick doing the things that's being done (See what I'm saying y'all) Young children being raped and battered Or they're falling victim to the ratta-tat-tatter Who protects them? Who respects them? When their own family neglect them It's time we check them (yo, check these mothers) And let them know that we can't have this Type of madness Scaring our kids for life and putting others in their casket It's time we made a change today So there won't be no more mothers to hear their child say [Chorus] Mommy, mommy, please don't leave ‘Cause Chester's got something up his sleeve And if you leave then I can't sleep ‘Cause Chester's gonna put his hands on me Mommy, mommy, please don't leave ‘Cause Chester's got something up his sleeve And if you leave then I can't sleep ‘Cause Chester's gonna put his hands on me [Verse 2] Now, A mother cries, slumped over a dead body A teenage girl in the corner screams “I'm sorry mommy” Her mother wants to know one thing, Why? Here's the words of a girl too scared to lie She said, “It happened to me first when I was nine He burst in my room and told me I was fine He sat me on his knee and said that he loved me And in his dirty strange ways, he touched me That night you worked late at Macy's Mom I prayed that you would come home and save me Cause he did these things, these nasty things to me, Ma These things, these nasty things And I thought I would die from the pain It was crazy”, the young girl explained “When he was through with me he looked down and said You tell anyone, your mom and you, you're dead” She feared for their lives so she stayed quiet Five years of being raped and being silent 1,825 days she suffered From a man who says I do this because I love ya Now she's 14 and can't take no more And she knew he kept a gun in his dresser drawer So she got it, she saw him, she co*ked it She said I hate you Uncle Chester, that's why I got to stop it [Chorus] Who protects our children From the grownups touchy feeling? Now what kind of world do we live in When you abuse our children? Mommy, mommy, please don't leave ‘Cause Chester's got something up his sleeve And if you leave then I can't sleep ‘Cause Chester's gonna put his hands on me Mommy, mommy, please don't leave ‘Cause Chester's got something up his sleeve And if you leave then I can't sleep ‘Cause Chester's gonna put his hands on me [Verse 2] Now, who protects our children From the grownups and their touchy feeling? Do we let our kids k** or someone k** them? Parents don't be blind to a developing young mind Guiding starts at home and I'm going teach mine Hey young world, I know it's crazy out there I know they're bigger and stronger and they get you really scared But you have to find someone that you can trust So they can help you put an end to this madness You are not alone no matter what people have told ya Many have been abused from the unknown to Oprah Now what I'm saying is let's make a change today So you won't be the next to hear your child say [Chorus] [Repeats] God bless our children
