Sula Sula

Sula, why you do the things you do

Sula, Sula, where will you go

Now,  where will you go

You think you’ll go far

Away

You can’t escape, your fate

In this life, the

fire engulfs you

Your mama too

You watch

her burn

and grandma

warns that of you

Sula, where will you go

When grief follows you

Down, down, down

These rivers lead you

back home

where fire controls every

corner, every space

You can’t even live with grace

People remember you

And that scar above your eye

as if a rose’s thorn marked you

with no tears left to cry

who is there to say goodbye?
