Woman, woman
You tired but you acting stubborn
Can see the years in your eyes, but not your face
Can’t hide the scars and you can’t hide the miles
It’s like a donkey you rode, but you still try to smile
Some will ask you many questions
I will only ask you when
When will you walk in dignity
In the eyes of men
Lady of anonymity, battling insecurity
And everyday you have to fight
I know your human, know your plight
Walking in the showers of God
Yet all the people see is mud
And now they want to smile in your face
Some will ask you many questions
I will only ask you when
When will you in dignity
In the eyes of men
Lonely woman
Looking for that lovely heart and soul
Looking for love and attention
Looking for someone to hold
She’ll even look to misery
If she can find her own
But a blessing is what she needs
I hope she can hear me so
She must first bless herself (3x)
She must first love herself
She must first bless herself (3X)
She must first love herself an then
They won’t ask you any questions
And I won’t ask you when
Cause you’ll be walking in dignity
In the eyes of men
This song is livicated to the lovely sister
Dr. Mrs. Betty Shabazz
We want you to know that we love you
And as you see brother Malcolm X
Tell him that we love him too
For it’s through your face we overstand
The meaning of Grace
A mother’s action to the end
So we sing out from the bottom of our hearts
I never saw your face
Or never heard your tears
But I felt all your grace
Through all your dispair
Your only love was gone
But what they did to him was wrong
But brother Alex Haley
Told us how him was strong
Can’t beging to imagine
The struggle through your pain
Cause only beauty I man feel
When they call out your name
Talked a bit to Malaaka
I sensed your presence then
You showed us dignity
In the eyes men
