lyrics

Ain’t she a woman
Ain’t she everything a man don’t know how to handle
Don’t know how to touch without letting go
Don’t know how to value without a price tag to show cause
Her thighs hold diamonds and her curves hold gold
Ain’t she too much of a woman for a man not to want her
To have and to own her
To build something on her like
A family
Ain’t she a mother
Whose children only call when they need her
Who never sit with the intent to hear the sound of her voice
The cadence of her tongue
The rhythm of her heart
Children who become skilled at abusing her
At taking and using then not knowing what to do with her
Children who pucker their lips
Expecting her to breastfeed ‘till her bosom bleed
Long as they get what they need
Cause that’s what mamas do
Keep giving to children that don’t know nothing ‘bout thank you’s
