Ooh ooh yeah
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 loving 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 loving 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 h**s or your b**ches 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
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 would be
If you weren't here with me 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 morning morning
This is suck n**gas 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 playing 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 being so good to me
And I apologize for not always being 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 living
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
