"Woman" lyrics
(feat. SALT, Big Daddy Kane & Raheem DeVaughn)
I ain't never wanted nothing but some respect
And see the love from my eyes be reflected
Never looking for a hand out or a check
Just a humble spirit looking for a real connection
Love from the depths of my soul I am giving
Loyal to the death with a heart made to listen
Open to give and receive be the air that you breathe
Help you move into a Kings position
I don't wanna sit up on this throne by my lonely
Wanna ride or die but not someone to own me
I should be the fix that you need when the world
Makes you bleed never leave is what my mama told me
She's the greatest bestowed to me
Made in the image of royalty
Respect ain't nothing like a woman
Woman woman woman
From the crown of head to the toes on her feet
Down to the melanin in her skin
She's strong like a rock
Ain't nothing like a woman woman woman
You know what
That Queen gene is mean
And your routine is clean
And since a clean serene teen
Stepping fresh on the scene
And once I felt need for a real needs
Gave up every different hottie
For a real wisdom body
Some be out searching far and long
But now you got me going Gaga
A star is born
That royal treatment, you deserve it
You make it easy but shhh you
Made it worth it
Flattery will get you nowhere
It don't matter
Words without action is just chit chatter
Respect is a must I ain't with the thugging
Tricks are for kids I'm a grown ass woman
I hit the stage get the paper I'm a boss
Salt going in, Lyte going off
Hands up if you know your worth
Stand up cuz it's ladies first sis
She's the greatest bestowed to me
Made in the image of royalty
Respect ain't nothing like a woman
Woman woman woman
From the crown of head to the toes on her feet
Down to the melanin in her skin
She's strong like a rock
Ain't nothing like a woman woman woman
Greatest gift God gave was a woman
We Raised children when other women couldn't
Well aware of the care that's needed for our heirs
And you get out exactly what you put in
Nothing like a big ma ma, Nana or a aunitea support
Still loving and giving when you coming up short
They believe you can be better and so you show up
Pushing for you to be the best when you decide to grow up
I been anointed since day one
My mamas a G and she raised one
I'm a queen real life I don't play one
I speak my mind dare you to say something
When life gets harder
I get smarter I never give up
You ain't gotta show me love
Just get my money up
Don't be mad Imma stay lit
So please don't trip
Keep up or Imma have to dip and send you back to the sticks
She's the greatest bestowed to me
Made in the image of royalty
Respect ain't nothing like a woman
Woman woman woman
From the crown of head to the toes on her feet
Down to the melanin in her skin
She's strong like a rock
Ain't nothing like a woman woman woman
And see the love from my eyes be reflected
Never looking for a hand out or a check
Just a humble spirit looking for a real connection
Love from the depths of my soul I am giving
Loyal to the death with a heart made to listen
Open to give and receive be the air that you breathe
Help you move into a Kings position
I don't wanna sit up on this throne by my lonely
Wanna ride or die but not someone to own me
I should be the fix that you need when the world
Makes you bleed never leave is what my mama told me
She's the greatest bestowed to me
Made in the image of royalty
Respect ain't nothing like a woman
Woman woman woman
From the crown of head to the toes on her feet
Down to the melanin in her skin
She's strong like a rock
Ain't nothing like a woman woman woman
