Rykarda Parasol Take Only What You Can Carry Lyrics Rykarda Parasol lyrics

Well, my daddy's daddy got shot -
he didn't do no crime.
My daddy's daddy got shot -
he didn't do no crime.
"The city wall ain't nothing
But shackle & chain.
You better run, son, hide, before you
Tumble into a massive grave."

A witness done say,
He saw my grandma's doom:
"A shovel lay beside where
She'd dug her own tomb.
And we all saw the walking dead
Get on that train.
We held in the screams
But there's no hiding the pain."

I stand here now and
You all clap your hands.
Brava, brava. Hurray, hurray!
I stand here now,
Can I tell ya who I really am?
-- ()
Why do you want me here?
It's hard to understand.
Brava, brava. Hurray, hurray!

"No fear," says daddy,
"Courage got me where I am."

Well, don't cry daddy i'll have baby someday
O, don't cry daddy i'll take the shame away.
And i don't care what that
Baby's daddy might have say.
Daddy, my baby gonna carry our family name.

When the city's on fire and the people rise on up
Will they rise up for any one of us?
When the city's on fire
Who ya thinks gonna get the blame?
Can you tell me please? I need to know if
Things around here have changed.

My daddy done fought to live
In this mean old world
And all i am is a silly little girl.
My daddy done fought to live
In this mean old world.
A round of applause if you will -
for the daddy of this little girl.
