[Chorus:]
|
Tell me how you'd feel
|
If I was,If I was go'n,
|
Tell me how you'd feel?
|
Tell me how you'd feel
|
If I was,If I was go'n,
|
Tell me how you'd feel?
|
What if I was go'n forever?
|
No more chocolate kisses,
|
No nappy dugout ever,
|
No mamma,no daughter,no sister,no
|
No sister friends
|
Tell me my brother,
|
What would become of you then?
|
What if,poof,every black female in the world
|
disappeared?
|
Your man-child left unattended
|
Lost without no one behind the steering wheel
|
Tell me,hmm mmm,
|
C'mon,how would that make you feel
|
C'mon,c'mon,help a sister say
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Your beautiful brown would be forever go'n
|
With no more cocoa wombs to carry your
|
brown on
|
You right there,would be the last of your kind
|
Can you feel this song? How does that
|
affect your mind?
|
Cause if there was no me,there'd be no you
|
Ooo can you feel me,is this song coming
|
through
|
What if,poof,every
|
black female
|
in the world
|
disappeared?
|
11
|
That's the science in it,
|
but it's so much more intense
|
Reach into your soul for the answer
|
Reach wherever you need to,to find it
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Rap:]
|
Say you be tripping,
|
Say you pimping it,
|
Talking 'bout how you "Da Man"
|
What you are is something different
|
By-product of when "Massa"ruled your life
|
Spreading babies everywhere
|
Couldn't think,couldn't care
|
But you can now
|
You can,you can
|
C'mon and man up
|
Damn it,Tell me how you'd feel?
|
No mamma,no daughter
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Repeat w/ adlibs until fade:]
