Lyrics

[Chorus:] Tell me how you'd feel If I was, If I was go'n, Tell me how you'd feel? Tell me how you'd feel If I was, If I was go'n, Tell me how you'd feel? What if I was go'n forever? No more chocolate kisses, No nappy dugout ever, No mamma, no daughter, no sister, no No sister friends Tell me my brother, What would become of you then? What if, poof, every black female in the world Disappeared? Your man-child left unattended Lost without no one behind the steering wheel Tell me, hmm mmm, C'mon, how would that make you feel C'mon, c'mon, help a sister say [Chorus] Your beautiful brown would be forever go'n With no more cocoa wombs to carry your Brown on You right there, would be the last of your kind Can you feel this song? How does that Affect your mind? Cause if there was no me, there'd be no you Ooo can you feel me, is this song coming Through What if, poof, every Black female In the world Disappeared? 11 That's the science in it, But it's so much more intense Reach into your soul for the answer Reach wherever you need to, to find it [Chorus] [Rap:] Say you be tripping, Say you pimping it, Talking 'bout how you "Da Man" What you are is something different By-product of when "Massa"ruled your life Spreading babies everywhere Couldn't think, couldn't care But you can now You can, you can C'mon and man up Damn it, Tell me how you'd feel? No mamma, no daughter [Chorus] [Repeat w/ adlibs until fade:]
