Afeni |
| Now since we all came from a woman |
| Got our names from a woman and our game from a woman |
| I wonder why we take from our women |
| Why we rape our women |
| Do we hate our women? |
| Now since we all |
| My brothers (My brothers)‚ I love you (I love you) |
| I hate to know some of you treat us like Glover (Glover) |
| Black card revoked‚ maybe you could use Discover (Discover) |
| Define yourself, do you feel the same way 'bout your mother? |
| (Mother) |
| Do you overlook our beauty, but you lovin' on all the others (Others) |
| Hope you teach your daughters all to stay away from suckas |
| Like yourself if you don’t love yourself |
| I’m so Southern (Southern)‚ I was taught to feed the soul with or without hot |
| ovens |
| Here’s a plate, know your hate come from a black man struggle (Struggle) |
| We all in the same shape, so I know I fit your puzzle (Puzzle) |
| Either way‚ we got your back, we only pray you’ll be our muscle (Pray you’ll be |
| our muscle) |
| Strength in the times we all overcome with trouble |
| Every day we pullin' doubles for ourself and home (For ourself and home) |
| My mom and daddy taught me, early on, protect your own (Protect your own) |
| We never stopped lovin' you, so turn your love back on (Your love back on) |
| And I pray you feel the same way as that 2Pac song |
| We ain’t your hoes or your bitches, trophies, or meant for pimpin' |
| Recognize a gift from God outweighs a birthday or a Christmas |
| To protect our lives, you gon' take it to the limit? |
| (You gon' take it to the |
| limit?) |
| Rib of my rib, do you still feel us in ya |
| Now since we all came from a woman |
| Got our names from a woman and our game from a woman |
| I wonder why we take from our women |
| Why we rape our women |
| Do we hate our women? |
| Now since we all came from a woman |
| Got our names from a woman and our game from a woman |
| I wonder why we take from our women |
| Why we rape our women |
| Do we hate our women? |
| I don’t know where I would be |
| If you weren’t here with me |
| If you don’t hear anybody else sayin' |
| Please know you’re appreciated ('Ated) |
| The way you walk, way you talk so fine (Fine) |
| And ooh, you got a brilliant mind (Brilliant mind) |
| There ain’t nobody better (Better) |
| Each and every one of you matter to me |
| To my sisters (To my sisters), I know we on it (I know we on it) |
| I feel your pain, I’m a woman disappointed |
| They should never take what’s never given to 'em 'cause they want it (Want it) |
| I was taught, if you love me, you would never cut the corners (Corners) |
| What we made in the night, we got a raise in the mornin' (Mornin') |
| This is sucka niggas warnin', you should never hit a woman (Woman) |
| We should have some things in common |
| Just like Common, he respect us |
| A law is not a lecture, how you love us it affect us (It affect us) |
| I ain’t playin' the middle like Nadeska |
| It ain’t complex to be emotional or affectionate |
| To my brothers that do, I hope my sisters don’t think less of 'em (Don't think |
| less of 'em) |
| 2Pac gone, you know Rap had to message him |
| We tried to do our best for them, mother panther vibes (Panther vibes) |
| We need strong men, so our baby boys survive (Baby boys survive) |
| Love our great fathers, I know some statistics lied |
| But all the ones that didn’t, yo, you gotta do your job |
| I know this life ain’t easy, every one of us is flawed (Flawed) |
| At least love your woman, we the closest thing to God (God) |
| And tell her keep her head up, every day that it gets hard (Gets hard) |
| If you truly recognize that |
| Now since we all came from a woman |
| Got our names from a woman and our game from a woman |
| I wonder why we take from our women |
| Why we rape our women |
| Do we hate our women? |
| Now since we all |
| I know I wouldn’t be nothing (Nothing) |
| Without you by my side (Side) |
| You have always been the savior, you’re the closest thing to God |
| So, I just want to thank you (Thank ya), for bein' so good to me |
| And I apologize, for not always bein' what I’m supposed to be |
| I just wanted to write this letter, I promise, I’m gonna do better |
| I don’t know where I would be (Be) |
| If you weren’t here with me (Me) |
| If you don’t hear anybody else sayin' |
| Please know you’re appreciated ('Ated) |
| The way you walk, way you talk so fine (Fine) |
| And ooh, you got a brilliant mind (Brilliant mind) |
| There ain’t nobody better (Better) |
| Each and every one of you matter to me |
| Come here, let me untwist your hair and massage your head. |
| Let me pick your |
| brain. |
| I wanna let you into this safe space I hold and keep sacred for you. |
| I know you are kind of hurt. |
| I kinda wish I could take the pain away from you. |
| I seen how the Devil likes to have his way with you. |
| I felt their hate for you. |
| Their innate ways to fake and play with you in this life you were given, |
| over this nightmare you are livin', pardon them for not seein' your purpose, |
| but for what it’s worth. |
| We’re in this life thing together, so can’t you love |
| me deeper than that? |
| Like God intended you to? |
| Can’t you remember where you |
| came from, like you ain’t came from my seed of love? |
| Your broken spirit can’t |
| always be the excuse. |
| Thought I taught you the gravity of respect and paying |
| dues, thought you knew. |
| My God don’t like ugly. |
| My God said she need an apology. |
| Needs to know you see all the beauty she created. |
| Needs you to know wouldn’t |
| be no you if it wasn’t for us. |
| My God said, «How much harder we gotta love you? |
