For they do not know Lyrics – Matana Roberts
Singer: Matana Roberts
Title: For they do not know
Even if i explained myself, my reasoning
No one would really believe me
His younger sister, who always seem to lack basic kindness
Had turned his entire clan against me
By the time i was able to pulled em apart
〈.?.〉 her sorry gossiping ways
And so once again i just lay there
I lay there on doctor ohara’s cold gray table and wondered does he see me?
Again gaze so absent
Another 〈.?.〉 mission that i seem only included as minor character in yet another all so pious backstory
Although i like doctor ohara very much, he was always very cheery towards me as a child
But that night
That night all i saw was his judgement
Gal how could you get yourself in such a marrow’s nest he said
As if i had created some replica of the virgin mary’s locust on my lonesome
The audacity of these rappers with they dangle between their legs
My walk on happened so blindly fast i thank god i don’t really remember how i got from there to here
Telling you this old somewhat stale tale
But i am here and at least i am known as the eyes of my great granddaughter
I am seen and i have been heard
I was not even allowed a burial
Mamma straight disowned me
Daddy had me secretly buried near the family plot
Hoping by the time she had noticed, she had been too gone to care
My little bits were sent back down to live with their daddy
Who in his own grief for whatever love he had left for me
Disappeared never to be seen alive again
They were lovingly taken care of by extended family
Raised as orphans, but never made to feel as such
Told that i had died in a childbirth
Which i supposed is somewhat true
Only in that what was birth was my voice and what had died was my judge silence
Because they didn’t know i was electric, alive, spirited, fired and free
My spirit overshadowing, my dreams too bombastic
My eyes too sparkling and my laughter too true
My name is your name, our name is their name
We are named, we remember, they forget
My name is your name, our name is their name
We are named
We remember, they forget
My name is your name, our name is their name
We are named
We remember, they forget
Our name, their name
My name is your name, our name is their name
We are named
We remember, they forget
My name is your name, our name is their name
We are named
We remember, they forget
My name is your name, our name is their name
We are named
We remember, they forget
My name is your name, our name our name our name is their name
We are named
We remember, they forget
My name is your name, our name is their name
We are named
We remember, they forget
My name is your name, our name is their name
We are named
We remember, they forget
We are we are we are
My name is your name, our name is their name
We are named
We remember, they forget
My name is your name, our name is their name
We are named
We remember, they forget
My name is your name, our name is their name
We are named
We remember, they forget
My name is your name, our name is their name
We are named
We remember, they forget
