letra de how did you do it? - danielle lopresti

[intro]
we stand; eye to eye and
we share; height and age and art
we are so alike and we are worlds apart

[verse 1]
what if we traded families… traded childhoods
traded shape and color, i give you fat albert – for n-gga girl?
what if we traded the belt buckle for the hard-working absence?
my mom’s sobbing for your mom’s silence?

’cause my pain’s almost nothing but
a cool, calm, summer rain
compared to the scars on you from your feet to your face

[chorus]
tell me:
how did you do it?
how do you now?
where did you put it?
tell mе tell me

[verse 2]
i am trying hard to conceivе the inconceivable
but because i love you as i was born to
i keep reaching for the absurd:
understanding the feel of flesh tearing
the crack of your t–th against
your own daddy’s fist
now my pain’s almost nothing but
a cool, calm, summer rain…
the hardest part for me is the admitting:
i don’t know i would have succeed where you landed standing
i think i would have fallen on my knees, fallen on my face
i think i would’ve died before my legs grew
long enough to run away
i think i would’ve bitten off my tongue or
chewed down my fingers or done fatal harm
to the next ku klux child who spit in my face
i think i would’ve died

[outro]
could i ever, have i ever, have i ever, ever, ever been that brave?
