Broken Ways

Fuck it up

If you want respect

You show respect

Respect women and be respected

Human to human

Spirit to spirit

I saw you walk out of that show

With your girl arm in arm

Tight grip on who she is

I see you slap her

Man handle her

Crush her

You've got no respect

Can't you see the look on her face

It's most certainly not one of happiness

The bruises on her person

They mark your frustration

In so many ways

You overlook and disregard

(Your ways)

Your broken ways

(Your ways)

Your broken ways

Go

Lacking knowledge of self

You proliferate the abuse

So sad, that you hold the door

To the gift of understanding

Does your being quiver in fear

When you see a powerful woman

Listening to her ideas and aspirations is out of the question

(Your ways)

Your broken ways

(Your ways)

Your broken ways

Go

And what's wrong with showing affection to your girl

Oh, you don't want anyone to see you can really care

Thinking others opinions matter you shine her on

Cold and hard that's what you show the world

(Your ways)

Your broken ways

(Your ways)

Your broken ways

Go

Is she so strong you have to keep her down

Is she so threatening you have to hit her in the face

Is it so wrong to find equanimity in a relationship

You use violence to cloak major insecurities

Broken ways
