[Intro 1]
[Am][Dm][Am][D][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]No,

[Interlude 1]
no, no, Momma
[Am][F]
[Am]All

[Verse 2]
my life I loved this girl so much,
All my life I loved her simple [F]touch.
[Am]She cared for me and put
me on this [F]earth,[Am]
Oh the pain of just a simple [F]birth.
[Am]But now I find that she has left me dumb and blind,
[F][Am]
Poisoned, twisted,
and destroyed my [F]mind.[G][F]
[Am]She taught me things that
[C]simply [Am]were not true[F]
[Am]She taught me hate for race
That's why I hate [F]you![G][F]
[Am]There's only one way I can make it right[F],
[Am]
Momma's gotta die [F]tonight.[Am]
There's only one way I can make it [F]right,
[Am]
Momma's gotta die tonight.
[F][G][F]

[Verse 3]
[Am]
[Dm]Momma, [C]momma,
[Am]I always loved[Dm] my momma,[C]
[Am]I always loved my mo[C]mma.
[Am]I loved the way she hold me,
I love [Dm]the way she [C]talked to me.
[Am]She used to teach me a lot of thin[Dm]gs,[C]
She taught me good [Am]things,
she taught me [C]bad things.
[Am]"Don't trust white people,
don't trust white [C]people.
[Am]Don't trust white people, they're no good,
they're no good,
They're no good, they're no [C]good.
[Am]They're just gonna rip you off,
they're just gonna rip you [C]off.
[Am]Don't trust 'em,
don't trust [C]'em."
I said, [Am]"Why momma?", [Dm]she [C]said,
"I told [Am]you don't
Trust 'em they're [Dm]no g[C]ood."
[Am]I said, "Momma,
I thought [C]we were all [Am]the same momma,
Why [C]momma?" She said,
"Don't ask [Am]me any [Dm]questions.[C]
Don't you chal[Am]lenge your
[Dm]mutha." [C]Momma.

[Verse 4]
[Am]So one day I[A] fou[Am]nd I f[C]ell in love[Am]
And I brought my girl[C]friend [Am]home
And I introduced her [C]to my
[Am]mutha and
[D]She smacked [C]me,
[Am]was [Dm]a whi[C]te girl and[Am][Dm]
I [Am]said, [C]"Why [Am]momma? Why momma?
[C]Wha[Am]t did I do wrong?"
[Dm]You [C]know, I fo[Am]und out my
mutha was a evil [C]woman.
[Am]She hated Puerto R[Dm]icans,
[C]Mex[Am]icans, Jamaicans[C],
[Am]Indians, Orient[C]als,
[Am]momma was no good.[Dm][C]
I learned [Am]to hate my mutha,
[Dm]hate [C]my mutha.
[Am]So I got some, ha ha[C], some lighter f[Am]luid,
from the [Dm]corner [C]store
And I [Am]put it around her bed,
[Dm]and [C]I set her on f[Am]ire![Dm]
[C]Ha, ha, ha.
[Am]Burn momma, burn [C]momma,
[Am]burn momma, burn [C]bitch[Am]
[C]Burn, [Am]burn, [Dm]burrrrrn. [C]Ha,[Am]
[C]ha, ha. [Am]Burn you racist [D]bitch!
[Dm]Ha, [C]ha, [Am]ha.
But [D]she was[Dm]n't q[C]uite d[Am]ead. She
jumped up from [Dm]the bed
[C]And I grabbed my Louisville [Am]Slugger
that she had bought
Me for my [C]twelfth birthday
[Am]and I came up behind her and
I [C]hit her, I [D]hit her[Dm],
[C]I hit her twice. Ha,[Dm] ha, ha.[C]
Now [Am]she was out.
[Dm]I went int[C]o the kitchen
And I [Am]got that handy carving knife
That we [C]only use on special
[Am]occasions [A]like
Bullshit [Dm]Thanksgiv[C]ing,
and I took [Am]her and I laid her ol'
[Dm]Fucked up [C]corpse on the floor
[Am]and I cut [A]her [Am]in
Little bitty [C]pieces. Cut off [Am]her arms,
her feet,
[C]Her neck, and I[Am] put her into
little green hefty [C]bags
And I put [Am]it into my car and I s[Dm]aid,
[C]"Momma, we're goin' on
A vaca[Am]tion,
[A]a per[Am]manent vac[Dm]ation[C] bitch."
[Am]I took some of her aro[D]und th[C]e world to Ari[Am] zona,
New [C]York,
[Am]Chicago, [C]Atlanta, Miami,
[Am]Oak [A]land[Am]. Ha[Dm], ha[C], ha, yo, you[Am]
Want to go to Connecticut, [C]bitch. [Am]Ohio,
[C]Detroit, [Am]Texas, [Dm]L.A.[C]
[Am]Whose laughin' now momma,
[C]whose laughin' now[Am] bitch,
[Dm]Whose laugh[C]in' now.
[Am]Ha, ha, [C]ha, ha.
[Am][C][Am][D]

[Verse 5]
[Dm]So if yo[C]u got a mutha or a[Am]
[Dm]gran[C]dmut[Am]ha or a father
[Dm]Who want[C]s to carry on th[Am]e same
ra[C]cist bull[Am]shit that's
Fucked [Dm]this [C]world up from day [Am]one,
You can [Dm]either [C]loo[Am]k 'em in
the face and tell 'em to
[Dm]Suck [C]your dick [Am]or do like Body
Coun[Dm]t does.
[C][G][F][Am]

[Verse 6]
All my life I loved this girl so [F]much,[Am]
All my life I loved her simple [F]touch.
[Am]She cared for me and put
me on this [F]earth[Am]
Oh the pain of just a simple birth.
Right now I find that she has left me
dumb and [F]blind[Am]
Poisoned, twisted,
and destroyed my [F]mind.[G][F]
[Am]She taught me things that
simply were not [F]true
[Am]She taught me hate for race
That's why I hate [F]you![G][F]
[Am]There's only one way I can make it right[F],
[Am]
Momma's gotta die [F]tonight.[Am]
There's only one way I can make it [F]right,
[Am]
Momma's gotta die tonight.
[G][F]
