Why do you hate us?
I don't hate you
Gettin' up in front of all of these people
And showing them how much you hate us!
Mom, I don't hate you
I don't hate you
Then why would you write about us like this?
Because I love you!

You don't love me
If you loved me
You wouldn't have made your daddy run out of here
With tears in his eyes
If you loved me
You would've found you a church home in New York
If you loved me
You would've brought me home a daughter-in-law and a grandbaby by now!
If you loved me
You'd be able to fly me around the world like Tyler Perry!

Her precious little dream
But oh, no, you are frightened about life
Came tumbling down
Never mind Doodoo Bank Student Loans calling my house
Looking for your black butt
After all the time she spent building it up
Just lollygagging up here in New York, not doin' nothin'!

And after all of the things that she's been through
Probably out there dressin' up
And pretendin' like you was a white woman!

You come along and crush it
Talking 'bout you want a black man, hah!
In the palm of your hand
Like a real black man would want to kiss you!
You come along and flush it
The Bible says homosexuality is worse than murder!
Down

My precious little dream
It never ends with you
Of my little boy
Shampoo, rinse, repeat, repeat, repeat
God, after all this time
Why can't you give it up?

Oh no, you not gonna turn this on me
I know I'm a good mama!
Cause if you knew all the things that I've been through
They had to cut me open to get you
Did you know that?
I bled and bled
They pulled your black butt out of my stomach!
You'd rue the ways you attack me
Your aunt always said your homosexuality was just a phase
You'd rue the ways you fought
But you're 26 years old, and you still kissing on men!
You run until you've tracked me down
Why couldn't you just be the daughter I always wanted?
I'll tell you why, it's because you're selfish!

Mama, I can't suck your titties again
I can't crawl back up inside your womb
Your nasty little mouth
You wonder why it's like a graveyard
In your living room
And all I can do is cry
You wanna cry, Mama?
Go right ahead

My stumps are growing short on this earth, my son
But I won't cry, Mama
Cause I'm not dead
And one day, you won't have me at all
And you're not dead!
Then you'll be all alone!

Time just has this way of tearing
Down the dreams we think we live in
Spinning wheels in motor town
So effed up and so run down
An overblown and false display
Just like in a gospel play!

Who the f*ck is you, nigga?
Who the f*ck is you?
Ooh
Ooh

Sister Serabe
The Lord done put it on my heart
To sing this selection in honor of Brother Darnell
Who was an abomination just like me
And I can't help but reflect on your husband's words to me at
The age of seventeen
That if I ever acted on my lust for another man
That I would meet the same fate as Darnell
Lying in that there box
And those words have kept me HIV-free
But completely terrified ever since
Because I realized then and there
That the only thing worse than dying of AIDS was living with it
And hearing the people you love the most say
"I told you so, I told you so, I told you so!"
Can I get a witness out there, choir?

Yas!

And so, on today
As we prepare to bury yet another un-HBO special
Un-Oscar Award winning
Abnormal-hearted, un-Angel in American black queer in the ground
It is very important that we remember
What God's word
Your word
Tyler's word
And every-fucking-body else's word tells us

AIDS is God's punishment
Sing your song, brother, sing your song
For the man who ain't living right
You hear that, Curtis?
AIDS is God's punishment
I love the Lord
You heard my piety and pity's ever-growing
For he who sins in the night
Let 'em know, let 'em know, let 'em know!

AIDS is God's punishment
But all darkness (all darkness)
All darkness (all darkness)
All darkness (all darkness)
Comes to light
Speak on it!

He gonna knock them dicks up out your mouth
And then, and this is what I like about him
Di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di
He shall smite
Cause

AIDS is God's punishment, yes!
Sing, sopranos! Testify for all of God's children!
AIDS is God's punishment!
Everybody in the building
Count me in on the two and the three, with my altos!
AIDS is God's punishment, yes!
I have to pray, Mother!
AIDS is God's punishment, yes!
Come on, men! AIDS!
AIDS is God's punishment, yes!
He will not deliver us
I don't care what Sister Mac says about him
AIDS is God's punishment!
Let's put it all together
Fill the house of the Lord with praise!

AIDS is God's punishment, yes!
I defy you to shout up to my boy
AIDS is God's punishment, yes!
The Spirit of the Lord is in this temple, yes!
AIDS is God's punishment, yes!
Can you feel it, church?
Can you feel it, church?
Make me feel it, church!
Make me feel God's punishment! Parts!

AIDS, AIDS!
AIDS, AIDS!
AIDS, AIDS!
AIDS, AIDS!
AIDS, AIDS!
AIDS is God's punishment, yes!

Please stop this!
AIDS is God's punishment!
Please stop this music!
AIDS is God's punishment!

You wanted a gospel play
This is the only way I know how to do it
