Into Fundisha Talking:

I remember growing up in Newark and hanging out with the girl next door and

She never wanted to go home because her parents were always fighting

I ran into her the other day, and I ask her how she was doing

And she just started crying,and my heart really went out to her

And I ask her what's wrong , And as she began to wipe the tears from her eyes

this is what she told me-



Chorus:

Momma never told me how to be lady

If she did I never would of has this baby

Poppa never taught me right from wrong

He was was never home poppa was a rolling stone

(Repeat one more time)



Verse 1:

Poppa use to drink alot and

Momma use to walk around smoking pot

So they never heard a single word I said

that's why I use to walk the streets at night when I should of been in bed

Never heard me crying in the night cause all they did was fuss and fight

(fuss and fight)

Now I don't know where to turn

Never Taught, Never Told



Chorus:

Momma never told me how to be lady (Momma never taught me)

If she did I never would of has this baby (no)

Poppa never taught me right from wrong

(He was never home see my poppa was a rolling stone) He was was never home

poppa was a rolling stone



Momma never told me how to be lady

If she did I never would of has this baby

Poppa never taught me right from wrong

He was was never home poppa was a rolling stone



Verse 2:

See I was in a house that was not a home

So I left because I did not belong

Then I fell in love with a man

who said that he loved me but all he did was hit me with his hand

I thought things would get better in a little while

But instead it got worse when I had this child

I don't know what to do-acapo
