Nana Joy
Nana Joy's Bittersweet Legacy Unveiled
Lyrics
You were all that she suffered
You caused all the pain she experienced.
You weren't all that you seemed
Your true nature didn’t match how you appeared.
You were all the things that my mama told me that she'd never be
You embodied everything my mother warned me never to become.
You took all of her sweetness
You absorbed her kindness entirely.
You took all that you needed
You only took what served your needs.
You stole all of the love that she had to give, & you stole it from me
You not only took all her love but also took it away from me.
I feel your fight
I sense your struggle.
When you come to mind
When thoughts of you arise.
Voiceless divine
A divine presence without a voice.
Nana joy, nana joy and all the boys
Nana Joy, associated with various men.
There ain't no shame in crying
It’s okay to cry; there’s no shame.
There's no more red in the room
The intensity of negative emotions has lessened.
Nana Joy & her charity of gentlemen were hers to abuse
Nana Joy and the men she gave herself to were subjects of abuse.
Now as you lay dying
Reflecting on your imminent death.
And as they lower you to rest
As they lay you to rest.
Do you have anything to say for yourself, do you have any regrets?
Questioning if you feel remorse or have anything to say for your actions.
I feel your fight
I perceive your inner struggle.
When you come to mind
When thoughts of you surface.
Voiceless divine
A divine presence without expression.
Nana joy, nana joy and all the boys
Nana Joy, associated with various men.
I feel your fight
I sense your inner struggle.
When you come to mind
When thoughts of you arise.
Voiceless divine
A divine presence without voice.
Nana joy, nana joy and all the boys
Nana Joy, associated with various men.
No more reckless devotion
No more blindly giving devotion.
Put the others at bay
Keeping others at a distance.
A beastly belly can never be filled by you, it doesn't matter what you say
No amount of your actions can satisfy insatiable desires.
Mama find peace in the ocean
Mother finding solace in the vastness of the ocean.
Mama know that he's sailing seas
Mother acknowledging your absence and distance.
And please know there's no potion strong enough to have ever set her free
No solution potent enough to free her from this situation.
