"And since we all came from a woman
Got our name 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 think it's time to kill for our women
Time to heal our women, be real to our women
And if we don't we'll have a race of babies
That will hate the ladies, that make the babies
And since a man can't make one
He has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one
So will the real men get up
I know you're fed up ladies, but you gotta keep your head up"

And it's just words and they cut deep but it's our world, it's just us two

But I could do anything, you said that, and you meant that
You took me places, you spent that, they said no, we went back

Cause he don't seem to want you back and it's got you asking

Take it from a man that loves what you got
And baby girl you're a star, don't let 'em tell you you're not"
