Russell Patterson - Right Name Lyrics

There's a time and there's a place
But that ain't here not now
The place I'm from so destitute
None of us know how, oh
How we arrived got out alive
All prisoners some left to die
In a town with such full gallos
We ain't got no noose

I got blood on my hands
Dirt under my fingernails
And scars that tell a story
Up and down my back
Got nothing left to say or loose
Nothing left to prove to you
Got an empty set of pockets
Bills over due

So call me by
Call me by my right name
Call me pestilence and call me plague
Call me famine call me war but
Don't expect no more than my right name
My right name

So call me by
Call me by right name
Call me what my mother is ashamed of
I'm a raven not a dove so
I'll never rise above my right name
My right name

Got an empty soul I'm told
Ain't worth it's weight in gold
Ain't worth it's weight in dust
Cos it's grown tired it's grown cold

So walk along the fringe it's been
So long since I remember when
So long since I remember
Where's my hand to hold

So call me by
Call me by my right name
Call me pestilence and call me plague
Call me famine call me war
But don't expect no more than my right name
My right name

So call me by
Call me by my right name
Call me what my mother is ashamed of
I'm a raven not a dove
So ill never rise above my right name
My right name

So call me by
Call me by my right name
Call me pestilence and call me plague
Call me famine and call me war
But don't expect no more than my right name
My right name

So call me by
Call me by my right name
Call me what my mother is ashamed of
I'm a raven not a dove
So I'll never rise above my right name
