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] |

[03:35.09] |
That's somebody's daughter, |
[03:36.27] |

[03:38.69] |
Something wonderful... |
[03:42.58] |
