Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Society
Who's to say who loves who
And on the colors of love, are we to be schooled?
Society
Our minds, bodies, and souls will meet tolerance
Society
Put an end to ignorance
[Verse 2]
Ask your momma can she feel it?
Does she know about my love?
Does she know you got my heart in your hand?
[Verse 3]
Ask your momma will she cry when she sees
This fourteen K band of gold? Oh, baby
Wonder will she say what will I tell my friends
[Verse 4]
Society's child
Some people think I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth
That isn't right, that isn't right, uh, uh
[Verse 5]
I had dreams of grandeur
And I was labeled like Campbell soup
Baby, all I wanted to do was sing to you and love you true
[Verse 6]
I see the looks down their noses
I hear shots in the dark
We sleep on no bed of roses, tug of wars on our hearts, hey
[Verse 7]
We think we're the perfect blend
But they can't see beyond the skin, whoa
[Verse 8]
Ask your momma does she remember
The bible says about equals? Whoa
Or is it this different when it hits this close to your home?
[Verse 9]
Ask your momma will the children suffer
Or will they hate us for our dreams? Oh, baby
I wonder will she say what will I tell my friends
[Verse 10]
Society speaking, some of my best friends are different shades
It's a shame, it's a crime
They blow your mind, time after time, baby
[Verse 11]
I had pretty visions and I was labeled and I was robbed
Baby, all I wanted to do was sing to you and love you true
[Verse 12]
I see the looks down their noses
I hear shots in the dark
We sleep on no bed of roses, tug of wars on our hearts, hey
[Verse 13]
We think we're the perfect blend
But they can't see beyond the skin, whoa
[Verse 14]
Ask your momma can she feel it?
Does she know about my love? Oh, oh
Does she know you got my heart in your hand?
[Verse 15]
Ask your momma will she cry when she sees
This fourteen K band of gold, oh, baby
I wonder will she say what will I tell my friends
[Verse 16]
Hey, baby
Hey, hey
[Verse 17]
Ask your momma can she feel it, can she feel it?
Feel it in her heart
Can she feel it in her heart?
Can she feel it in her heart?
Ask your momma
[Verse 18]
It's such a crime, it's such a crime
It's such a crime
It's such a crime, it's such a crime
It's blowing my mind, baby
[Verse 19]
It's such a crime, it's such a crime
It's blowing my mind
It's blowing my mind
It's blowing my mind
Time after time
[Verse 20]
I see the looks down their noses
I hear shots in the dark
We sleep on no bed of roses, tug of wars on our hearts, hey
[Verse 21]
We think we're the perfect blend
But they can't see beyond the skin, whoa
[Verse 22]
Ask your momma can she feel it?
Does she know about my love?
Ask your momma can she feel it?
Does she know about my love?
