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-aca
