Do you overlook our beauty but you love it on the others? hope you teach your daughter all to stay away suckers Like yourself, if you don’t love yourself, I’m so southern I was taught to feed the soul with or without hot ovens Here’s a plate, I know the hate come from da black man struggle We all in the same shape so I know we fit your puzzle Either way we got your back, I only pray you be our muscle Strength in the times we all overcome wit trouble, everyday we pulling doubles and for ourselves and home My mom and daddy taught me early on protect our own We never stopped loving you so turn your love back on And I pray you feel the same love as that Tupac song We ain’t your hoes or your bitches Trophies or meant for pimpin Recognize a gift from God outweighs a birthday or a Christmas Too protect our lives you down to take it to the limit? Rib of your rib do you still feel us in ya? I dont know where i would be If you werent here with me If you dont hear anybody else say it Please know your appreciated The way you walk, the way you talk so fine And eww you got a brilliant mind There aint nobody better Each and every one of ya matter to me My sisters, I know we on it I feel your pain Imma woman disappointed They should never take what’s never given to em cuz they want it I was taught if you love me you would never cut corners What we made in the night We gotta raise in the morning This a sucker niggas warning You should never hit a woman We should have some things in common Just like common he respect us It’s a law it’s not lecture How you love us it affect us I ain’t playing the middle like Ndeska It ain’t complex to be emotional or affectionate To my brothers that do I hope us sisters don’t think less of em Tupac gone so you know that Rap had to message em We try to do our best for dem Mother panther vibes We need strong men so our baby boys survive Love our great fathers I know some statistics lied But all the ones that didn’t Yo, you gotta do your job I know this life ain’t easy Everyone of us is flawed At the least love your woman We the closest thing to God And tell her everyday to keep her head up When it’s hard If you truly recognize that we I know i wouldnt be nothin Without you by my side You have always been the savior You’re the closest thing to God So i just wanna thank you For being so good to me And i apologize For not always being what im supposed to be I just wanted to write this letter I promise im gonna do better I dont know where i would be If you werent here with me If you dont hear anybody else say it Please know your appreciated The way you walk, the way you talk so fine And eww you got a brilliant mind There aint nobody better Each and every one of ya matter to me http://vevo.ly/6xO5jv
