So hard to say
Somethings don't change
And a mother an good girl
I can buy my own groceries baby
Hot as the summer, sweet as the first kiss
I need you
We need you
I could be congresswoman or a garbage woman
By my damnself
We need you, we need you, we need you
Or I could be much more and a myriad of this
The queen with the nappy hair raising her fist
We need you
And even though I can do all these things
I can floss my own bling bling
I need you, yeah
And even though I can do all these things
Make sure he's loved and knows what God gave us
Or police officer or a carpenter
I can even stain and polyurethane
Somethings remain
Sometimes so hard to say, oh
Women what you've done to me, kind of lover I can be
Get my hair tight my nails right
I need you
I need you
And even though I can do all these things
I can even raise the child we'll make
I need you
But I need you to help him be a man
I could be a doctor and a lawyer
I could be a computer analyst
Although it's hard because I'm scared
I can teach him how to walk and stand
And even though I can do all these things
I've been blessed thus far
I can kill the spider above my bed
Write the the words to the songs I sing
We need you, we do
I do, I do, I do, I do
But some things just don't change
I can buy my own shoe collection
