Dashikis
Geoffrey Short
It's picture day at church todayAll the families are clean and bright-eyedOur white mother and her two brown babiesAre perfect tooWe are Linda's prideShe rakes a pick through our nappy afrosShe got a different look in mindWe'll show our true colorsAnd a love so brightIt could make you blindShe gave up everythingShe sacrificed everythingIt's picture day todayAnd the pride on her face says moreThan any words could sayLinda dressed us all in DashikisShe said be proud have no shameLinda dressed us all in DashikisThe colors of pride in a frameHold your head high she saidLook folks in the eye she saidSpeak the King's EnglishAnd always rememberI love you and you're beautifulShe saidShe gave up everythingShe sacrificed everythingIt's picture day todayAnd the pride on her face says moreThan any words could sayLinda dressed us all in DashikisShe said be proud have no shameLinda dressed us all in DashikisThe colors of pride in a frameShe must have felt so all alone and scaredShe must have reached out just to find no one thereWhat would you doWith so much to prove?
She's Leaving Home
The Beatles
Wednesday morning at five o'clockAs the day beginsSilently closing her bedroom doorLeaving the note that she hoped would say moreShe goes downstairs to the kitchenClutching her handkerchiefQuietly turning the backdoor keyStepping outside, she is freeShe(we gave her most of our lives)Is leaving (sacrificed most of our lives)Home (we gave her everything money could buy)She's leaving home, after living alone, for so many years (bye bye)Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gownPicks up the letter that's lying thereStanding alone at the top of the stairsShe breaks down and cries to her husband"Daddy, our baby's gone.

the last great american dynasty
Taylor Swift
The wedding was charming, if a little gaucheThere's only so far new money goesThey picked out a home and called it "Holiday House"Their parties were tasteful, if a little loudThe doctor had told him to settle downIt must have been her fault his heart gave outAnd they said "There goes the last great American dynasty"Who knows, if she never showed up what could've beenThere goes the maddest woman this town has ever seenShe had a marvelous time ruining everythingRebekah gave up on the Rhode Island set foreverFlew in all the Bitch Pack friends from the cityFilled the pool with champagne and swam with the big namesAnd blew through the money on the boys and the balletAnd losing on card game bets with DalíAnd they said "There goes the last great American dynasty"Who knows, if she never showed up, what could've beenThere goes the most shameless woman this town has ever seenShe had a marvelous time ruining everythingThey say she was seen on occasionPacing the rocks staring out at the midnight seaAnd in a feud with her neighborShe stole his dog and dyed it key lime greenFifty years is a long timeHoliday House sat quietly on that beachFree of women with madnessTheir men and bad habits, and then it was bought by meWho knows, if I never showed up what could've beenThere goes the loudest woman this town has ever seenI had a marvelous time ruining everythingI had a marvelous timeRuining everythingA marvelous timeRuining everythingA marvelous timeI had a marvelous time

Never Abandon Your Family
Kanye West
Two lessons that he passed along to his childrenThe first is that, no matter what, you never abandon your familyThe second was that, no matter what, you love unconditionallyIt is that kind of love that made my father the kind of father and the kind of man he isHe vowed that he would never walk away from his family, and he never hasYou know why my spirit's callingDarkness can't take light from meHaven't you gone far enough?Sacrificed the ones you loveGave up on your sanityLike some twisted fantasyWhat would I say to everything?
Teardrops On My Guitar

Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't seeThat I want and I'm needing everything that we should beI'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks aboutAnd she's got everything that I have to live withoutDrew talks to me, I laugh 'cause it's just so funnyBut I can't even see anyone when he's with meHe says he's so in love, he's finally got it rightI wonder if he knows he's all I think about at nightHe's the reason for the teardrops on my guitarThe only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing starHe's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I doDrew walks by me, can he tell that I can't breathe?
