Why be with a man
If he never protected you
Why go back to a man
That was never willing to fight for you
That man you so deeply loved
He never loved you
The life you hoped for
Was the life he never had for you
But carry on
Watch as your dreams turn out wrong
Mama tried to warn you
That man never deserved you
But yet you stayed while he did you wrong
That wrong feeling is now right to you
A life you have become accustomed to
Wake up to a man loving you
By bedtime he is raising his hand to you
Now it has all become clear
This man has you living in fear
taken so much of your life
Just because you wanted to be his wife
Now he can't even stand the likes of you
So he whips you because he is too coward
To handle mother's earth true power
one man's disposition is another man's position
Stand up
Before you are put down
Six feet under ground
