Gettin' Tired Of You

Inspired by the notorious Harlem crime boss, Madame Stephanie St. Clair. Her infamy was the subject of articles published in the Chicago Defender (and throughout the country) through the 1920s and 1930s. --Lyrics-- Hello mama How you been? I hear you in trouble Once again All you say And all you do No wonder they done left you Black and blue I say hey little mama I think they gettin’ Tired of you Mama it’s your actions The venom you speak You pick on the small And you prey on the weak Yeah mama You lie until you think it’s true I say hey little mama I think they gettin’ Tired of you Well you mean and you nasty You big and your strong Know you ain’t right But you keep on doin’ wrong Yeah mama Some day you gonna pay Well mama you’re so rotten You must decay Well mama you lived A whole life of crime Now you’re here And you’re out of time Oh mama What you gonna do? I say hey little mama I think they gettin’ Tired of you --Track Credits-- Lyrics and Vocals By: Terry Blade Instrumental Music By: Jason Shaw, excerpt of "Acoustic Blues," Free Music Archive Instrumental Music License: CC Attribution.
