For my lolo, my lola
My mammas, my pappas

A
Pappa didn’t DIE in VAIN
    F#m                D
His son carries on his name.
A
His face, his fire, his flame.
    F#m                 D
The way he talked.  The way he sang.
A
Mamma still feels the pain.
    F#m               D
She will not live in shame.
A
Of how her babies came.
    F#m             D
And who the hell to blame now.

She says
A      F#m       Bm    D
“oo so thankful, oo so thankful.”
A      F#m       Bm    D
“oo so thankful, oo so thankful.”
A
Grandma used to cut herself raw.
F#m                          D
Not the hardest thing little mama’s eyes saw.
A
Said, drunk INDIANS fighting cops.
F#m                      D
Trafficking little girls around the block.
        A
I said “When the rape gonna stop?”

She said
F#m                    D
“Not anytime soon baby that’s real talk.”

Said
A      F#m       Bm    D
“oo so thankful, oo so thankful.”
A      F#m       Bm    D
“oo so thankful, oo so thankful.”

A
Mamma never said it’s okay
    F#m             D
For this old man to touch her this way.
A
Grandma, well, she got paid
    F#m                      D
And that’s one thing I’m not proud to say,
A
I never thought I’d give thanks for RAPE,
    F#m              D
But that’s how I got here today.

Said
A      F#m       Bm    D
“oo so thankful, oo so thankful.”
A      F#m       Bm    D
“oo so thankful, oo so thankful.”

A
Got to give, got to give
F#m                   D
Got to give my momma  little kiss yeah
A
Got to give, got to give
F#m                  D
Got to give my momma little kiss yeah,
A
Got to give, got to give
F#m                   D

A…F#m…D…A…F#m…D

A
Pappa got SHOT in the HEAD
   F#m          
HE got what was comin’ to him
D
Now he’s dead.
A
Child molester 36 years old.
F#m                  D
Left four kids and a wife in the cold
A
Great grandfather got shot in the back
F#m                           D
Protecting Filipinos from the corporate attack
A
And great grandmother SHOT HERSELF in the MOUNT
F#m                            D
She was ready to go and I can hear her shout

She says
A      F#m       Bm    D

A
The pappa that raised me died of cancer
      F#m                     D
I was holding his hand as his spirit surrendered
A
Put a roof over my head, food in my belly
F#m                  D
He was a KING and a father to many
A
The mother that raised me is truly a QUEEN
F#m
Taught me how to love god
              D
And follow my dreams

Said
A      F#m       Bm    D
“oo so grateful, oo so grateful.”
A      F#m       Bm    D
“oo so grateful, oo so grateful.”

A               F#m
Coyote came and spoke to me he said,
Bm                D
