Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They did not tell us that all of that
Are being my own person and I'm being independent
Would lead to separation, loneliness, celibacy, and lesbianism
They didn't tell us that if you give up the man
You're gonna take one of this things
It gets worse and would destroy your nation
They made us think it was some kind of glorified position
To brag about the fact that I got my own job
My own credit card, my own car, so I don't need no man
I don't even know how we got that mixed up
Ain't none of that got anything to do with having being with no man
We have some serious relationship problems
You know, over sixty percent of our woman
Are single, widowed, separated, or divorced
They don't have a man
They need fathers, they need protection
To raise a child
You need a parental coalition of a man and woman
We have sons
By not having have a father in the home
They don't know how to respect women
They may bring the welfare system in
And tell us in order to feed, and clothe
And house our children, we have to give up our man
Yet to quit the man out of he house
When the white farmwife goes to the government
For subsidy for the farm
They don't tell them to get rid of the farm
And they keep that family go
But in the black community they make it requirement
Because they want to keep endorsing into the black community
That the black man is no good
