Etana - Trigger

Sitting in the darkness, knowing she was praying
Waiting for her to fall asleep
Only her tears can melt his poor heart
Knowing she was suffering
Still she begged him, keep the piece

He said, how can I stand aside
Watching my hopes and dreams die
What can I give you for all you gave to me

Mama me haffi pull the trigger again
He cried, I'm so sorry I lied
I know I said I wouldn't do it again
And I tried, but the world's not on our side
Oh mama

Radiation, chemo therapy
'Ponn phone card and bag juice money
Try all he can, the two can't meet
Nine subjects, nuff school fee
All because she toiled the streets
She understands how he feels

But he says, how high is the price to pay
For her to live another day
No keys to all these closed doors I see

Mama me haffi pull the trigger again
He cried, I'm so sorry I lied
Whoa oh, oh, oh
I know I said I wouldn't do it again
And I tried, but the world's not on our side
Ooh

Mama, if not me, who will save you
Where's your sunshine after all that you've been through
Are we just a chapter in the history of tragedy
When your prayers got for me

Mama me haffi pull the trigger again
He cried, I'm so sorry I lied
Oh, yeah
I know I said I wouldn't do it again
I tried, but the world's not on our side
Oh, oh, yeah

Mama me haffi pull the trigger again
He cried, I'm so sorry I lied
Ooh, yeah
I know I said I wouldn't do it again
And I tried, but the world's not on our side
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Yeah, yeah
Ooh
Oh, oh
