[deep bass sounding like a heart beat]
[heavy breathing, struggling for air]
[spoken word, from a male voice]
Don't fight it, just let it go.
[deep bass heart slows its rhythm]
[sound of a flatline,then fades in to the sound of a cello]
[verse][female vocalist]
oh play me a lullaby.
remember the nights you'd sing and I'd cry?
play it for me in that sweet sweet voice.
so I can hear it once again, like I have a choice.
Mama where's my song today.?
I still need you, why couldn't you stay?
[instrumental rise]
[chorus] [male rapper]
End of another life.
another tale , another daughter, another wife.
heartaches our story everyday
violence, insanity, it's here to stay.
we want to be free
we want to feel what's reel.
but we're born in a curse.
no money in her purse.
But somehow she brings home the bread. She keeps her babies fed.
[female rapper]
until the moment the world ended for me.
Tore apart my family, I was only 3.
My sister's gone. Daddy's up for twenty four.
The only thing I want to hear is her voice once more.
singing that sweet sweet lullaby, to tell me that it's all ok.
love is in our home, at least for today.
[cello and beautiful female voice humming along]
[verse][female vocalist]
oh Mama why did God take you from here? leaving your child to hate and to fear.
what did we do to deserve a life like this.
while there's a world of joy, of love, of bliss.
oh Mama , who's gonna understand , why I live with this pain?
why'd he have to take you, some stranger who was free to be insane.
I'm sorry you must have been scared. noone could hear you cry.
He took away our family, why did he want you to die.
[chorus,]

[sweet female lyrical voice,]
oh oh lullaby and goodnight my love.
I'll always sing to you from above.
All the nights that you can't sleep.
I'm always going to be with you so don't weep.
just close your eyes. and lay down your head.
although I'm not home I will still keep you fed..
[fade to end of song]
lullaby and good night. oh baby
lullaby and good night
lulla-lullaby. lullaby.
