Lyrics: Sammy Copley
Music: Sammy Copley
Why should I be rewarded
For work done long before me?
I am reaping what was sewn before my time
And god, does it feel sordid
This love I have afforded
You broke your back so I could straighten mine
Marsha love, your soul was not a crime
You taught me not to pay them any mind
And every time I speak my truth
In little ways I live for you
To prove the love you gave was worth your time
It's hard not to resent it
The way that time cemented
To think of all that was and could have been
And in the early hours
I think about your flowers
How you tried so very hard to set us free
Marsha love, your soul was not a crime
You taught me not to pay them any mind
And every time I speak my name
I hope you got to do the same
And prove the dreams you had were worth your time
Marsha P., your dreams were worth your time
Marsha P., your dreams were worth your time
