Yeah, yeah.. One time, one time.. Goin out, goin out.. To all the sisters.. this ones for yall.. [Verse 1] Thinkin of you, and how the perception came to pass Of a queen bein just a piece of ass So I ask you how that sound Thats for the sisters I missed the last time round Because I cant forget what you been through I cant forget the hardships and what you do So Im payin you the ultimate respect Because I love you and thats what you should get And its a shame that it comes as a surprise From the man in the land of do or die That the word could ever reach and educate It aint nothin but a style to set it straight And Im raised right so ladies still first But smooth with the groove for the fools that doubt ya worth Still thinkin of a master plan To protect and respect cause the fact is I love the black woman [Interlude] [Verse 2] And anyway, I remember there was a time When I would see you and try and go for mines Push up in the guts for a month or two Leave a stamp, break camp, yall know the rules And if somethin went wrong it was yo fault The time was cut short and so were the phone calls And someone would ask if I know you Come up in my face and I would be like, What, who? But then I seen that the game was ignorant The time had come for me to break away from that Dont you know there aint no future in hurtin our own Its bad enough that the trust and love are gone So I strive for, one to provide for And hold and take and elevate and guide for So many people wanna destroy But I cant, and I wont stop ever bein true to black woman [Interlude] [Verse 3] Now brothers, one last note to help us Keep check of some are livin life reckless Runnin with women who dont have respect for self And too foul to wanna get help, huh And sista you dont need a man Who cheats and mistreats and beats you bad Its better to have nothin than somethin at all And end up like a case bein worse than a close call So listen to the message in the song It aint nothin but a way to make us strong Quit being so quick to chase the juice And diss us tryin to taste anothers fruit In the land of AmeriKKKa I gotta hold my own and stay down witcha Cause everybody wants to wreck But Imma love ya and show respect I need ya black woman [Interlude]
bein, respect, interlude, woman, nothin
