| [00:11.03] |
Something wonderful |
| [00:15.63] |
For the women of the world, |
| [00:17.09] |
because women are the world |
| [00:21.06] |
Mixing my emotions... to close the bad again |
| [00:25.35] |
I'm just letting you know... |
| [00:32.77] |
I'm tryna be a good man I can't speak for the others |
| [00:35.71] |
Know the saying heaven lies at the feet of your mother |
| [00:38.52] |
Mine showed me the definition of hard work and |
| [00:41.43] |
Smiles through her tears even though her heart's hurting |
| [00:44.49] |
Speaks her mind and never ever bites her tongue |
| [00:47.18] |
I guess today you can say I'm just like my mum |
| [00:49.80] |
Great grandmother was in Beirut in '82 |
| [00:52.36] |
In a flat when it got invaded by Israeli troops |
| [00:55.13] |
Sleeping in the hallway for shelter from the bullets |
| [00:57.62] |
And that's why I'll always respect her to the fullest |
| [01:00.31] |
Physically gone, all memories are kept in a picture |
| [01:02.90] |
In Baghdad my nan slept with a Beretta in her slipper |
| [01:05.83] |
You're judged as a man by everything you amount to |
| [01:08.51] |
And the respect that you show the women around you |
| [01:11.23] |
So think about that stuff when you diss her |
| [01:13.47] |
That's somebody's daughter, |
| [01:14.47] |
somebody's mother and somebody's sister |
| [01:17.19] |
Something wonderful... |
| [01:19.91] |
|
| [01:20.79] |
To chase it all away |
| [01:23.77] |
|
| [01:26.47] |
Mixing my emotions.. to close the bad again |
| [01:35.26] |
|
| [01:38.24] |
I'm not claiming to be perfect I know what a curve is |
| [01:41.48] |
But a woman's worth isn't just on the surface |
| [01:44.07] |
I see too many young women craving affection |
| [01:46.85] |
Degrading themselves for a male's attention |
| [01:49.35] |
I know it's love that you're certain that you felt |
| [01:52.03] |
But messing with these |
| [01:52.96] |
different guys you're just searching for yourself |
| [01:54.89] |
Would it whore-ish to boast how high your score is |
| [01:57.82] |
When a man does it, a player is what you call him |
| [02:00.80] |
What if it's all just lies when she talks to guys |
| [02:03.42] |
Displays promiscuous ways like it's all alright |
| [02:06.33] |
Would it make you squirm if the tables turned |
| [02:08.87] |
Is that really what it would take to make you learn |
| [02:11.50] |
You're judged as a man by everything you amount to |
| [02:13.97] |
And the respect that you shown the women around you |
| [02:16.70] |
So think about that stuff when you diss her |
| [02:19.02] |
That's somebody's daughter, |
| [02:19.96] |
somebody's mother and somebody's sister |
| [02:21.86] |
I said think about that stuff when you diss her |
| [02:24.31] |
That's somebody's daughter, |
| [02:25.35] |
somebody's mother and somebody sister |
| [02:27.47] |
Something wonderful... |
| [02:29.93] |
|
| [02:31.65] |
To chase it all away |
| [02:34.79] |
|
| [02:37.57] |
Mixing my emotions |
| [02:42.78] |
to close the bad again |
| [02:45.87] |
|
| [02:49.60] |
Certain things are too deep to put in a verse |
| [02:51.99] |
Let me apologise to every single woman I've heart |
| [02:54.82] |
Or disrespected whether family members or ex's |
| [02:57.67] |
I wanna make amends for however I left it |
| [03:00.61] |
Men make them, but the women get harmed in wars |
| [03:03.30] |
I pray for a heart as pure as Assata Shakur's |
| [03:06.16] |
We put them down on the pedestal we should put them |
| [03:08.88] |
Behind every good man, there's a good women |
| [03:11.48] |
Betty Shabazz lost her husband to the handguns |
| [03:14.09] |
And lost her life when her house |
| [03:15.56] |
was burned down by her grandson |
| [03:16.87] |
Capila saw her father murdered when the hammers passed |
| [03:19.70] |
So I feel her pain when she tried to murder Farenga |
| [03:22.26] |
You're judged as a man by everything you amount to |
| [03:24.85] |
And the respect that you shown the women around you |
| [03:27.55] |
So think about that stuff when you diss her |
| [03:30.00] |
That's somebody's daughter, |
| [03:30.86] |
somebody's mother and somebody's sister |
| [03:32.72] |
I said think about that stuff when you diss her |
| [03:35.09] |
That's somebody's daughter, |
| [03:36.27] |
somebody's mother and somebody sister |
| [03:38.69] |
Something wonderful... |
| [03:42.58] |
To chase it all away |
| [03:48.30] |
Mixing my emotions.. to close the bad again |
