Analysis of Black family where did you go?
Black family, black family where did you go?
Big momma strong voice we don’t hear no more;
Grand-dad a memory may he rest in peace;
Black fathers, black fathers your sight we don’t see;
Wives, sons and daughters you have failed miserably;
Black Mothers on the frontlines taking all the grief;
Black family, black fathers, give our moms support and much needed relief!
