Songs of Experience

A Woman’s Worth
“Songs of Experience”

Yes you work. Yes you provide.
Through the rough waves of tears, sweat and pain, yes you helped us survive.
Being the man you are, chest out head held high.

You taught me to hunt and for my rights I should to stand up and speak up.
The man I should want to become I see beating the one who once laid down in anguish and perspiration and had your son, soon to be greater man than you.

You should be embarrassed and repentant for hitting the one who feeds you, gave you children, cleans your back, and taught your one and only son to not only to walk , but talk.

The worst thing to see is an angry, vengeful woman so I suggest you to wake up and step up and be the black man that you try to teach me to be and not the coward and week man that appears to me.
