Like a house is not a home This world is but a room This body a tomb Until words give it life I will not wake ‘til you tell me you love me Not until you rest me in your curves A real woman knows that God didn’t just give her power between her legs But he gave her power in her words By its very definition and meaning The nature of a woman’s totality Completely warps a man’s mentality The effects of fear that extends from society stay Only becomes reinforced when women begin to stray And say things that tear us down to our very core Like a sickness or malignant sore Your words have the ability to makes us soar Or to bring us to ours knees These words are simply a metaphor in order to get you to see That we need you To see past the foolishness the world puts us through And we’ll continue to endure so long as we can put you on that pedestal where you and our children can make it through And so I say to you: Without so much as a tear I will lie here Content to die here Until I hear I cannot live without you I will never doubt you I trust you Our children They need you I could never replace you
