baby daddy blues
woke up this morning
finally heard the anthem to my blues
baby daddy blues
baby daddy didn’t have a father
folks split up when he was young
papa said he had a new family
that relationship was worth his time
mama probably had the blues herself
left mexico behind and found a new man
the womyn/child beater kind
woke up this morning
finally heard the anthem to my blues
baby daddy blues
baby daddy hated school
hated men that didn’t care for baby mama’s
used his rage and trained
EZLN/AIM militant security
talkin’ bout taking back our lands
tearing down borders
bullets to the system
learning our native tongue
living revolutionary lives
woke up this morning
finally heard the anthem to my blues
baby daddy blues
baby daddy spread his seed
a new generation of decolonized bodies
warrior names
freedom running through their veins
placental offerings
hair that flows like rivers
ceremonial rites of passage
tobacco ties, family ties
after life ties
woke up this morning
finally heard the anthem to my blues
baby daddy blues
baby daddy baby daddy why are you so blue?
when did you quit fighting
traded in your red for who?
prayers left abandoned
politics that contradict your worth
9-5 for uncle sam
attorneys to protect your wealth
body suits that assert your cis manhood
and baby bois back home
torn and confused
woke up this morning
finally heard the anthem to my blues
baby daddy blues
baby daddy is getting married
a new family of his own
got no time for lovin baby mamas
not sleeping in his bed
proud to be a new Americano
with holidaze and honeymoons
english only attitude
talking bout how schooling paves the way
baby bois back home
torn and confused
baby bois back home
torn and confused
woke up this morning
finally heard the anthem to my blues
baby daddy blues
