Mister's Song (Celie's Curse)

Go on, git! Git outta my house!
Leave me alone! Get out of. .. Get out! No! Leave
Me alone, you - no! Goddamn bats get out of my!
No! Stop! Get away from
Me! Ow! Help!
What you lookin' at? Bunch of damn fools
I don't have to stay here, worthless town
I can walk right down this road
By myself. Never see nobody i know ever again
Nobody to put up with
Nobody to mess with me
Nobody to push me around
Nobody to tell me what to do
Nobody to expect somethin' of me
Nobody to tell me who i am
And who i ain't
Nobody!

I got plenty to blame
My daddy beat me
For my own good, he say
My first wife got kilt
When she run away
My kids is all fools
My crops is all dead
Only woman i love
Won't lie in my bed
A black man's life
Can't get any worse
'Less he wastin' away
Under miss celie's curse!
So tell me how a man do good
When all he know is bad?
Harpo happy
What right he got to be happy?
Wife leave
Girlfriend leave him, too
His mama die in his arms
Somebody tell me
How he keep findin'
So much good from so much bad?
His wife come back
His business fine
Everyone say
Harpo shine
For all they been through
They do just fine
Nothin' i say
Change people mind about me
Ain't gon' be nothin' i say
Gon' be somethin' i do
Maybe all my good lay ahead of me
Ain't gon' be nothin' i say
Gon' be somethin' i do
Maybe everything i do.
