[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...
