Tell me how you'd feel?
That's the science in it but it's so much more intense
Tell me how you'd feel if I was, if I was gone?
Tell me how you'd feel if I was, if I was gone?
Tell me how you'd feel?
Tell me, c'mon, how would that make you feel?
Tell me how you'd feel?
Ooh, can you feel me? Is this song comin' through?
Talkin' 'bout how you da man
Reach wherever you need to, to find it
Tell me how you'd feel?
Spreadin' babies everywhere, couldn't think, couldn't care
Say you be trippin', say you pimpin' it
Tell me how you'd feel if I was, if I was gone?
What if, poof, every black female in the world disappeared?
Your beautiful brown would be forever gone
Lost when no one behind the steerin' wheel
No mama, no daughter, no sister, no, no sister friends
When no more cocoa wombs to carry your brown on
Tell me how you'd feel?
Tell me my brother, what would become of you then?
Tell me how you'd feel?
Reach into your soul for the answer
Tell me how you'd feel if I was, if I was gone?
Tell me how you'd feel if I was, if I was gone?
But you can now, you can, you can
You right there, would be the last of your kind
Tell me how you'd feel if I was, if I was gone?
'Cause if there was no me, there'd be no you
Can you feel this song? How does that affect your mind?
Tell me how you'd feel if I was, if I was gone?
Tell me how you'd feel?
No mama, no daughter
By-product of when massa ruled your life
C'mon and man up, damn it
Your man-child left unattended
No more chocolate kisses, no nappy dugout ever
What you are is somethin' different
Tell me how you'd feel if I was, if I was gone?
Tell me how you'd feel?
What if I was gone forever?
C'mon, c'mon, help a sister say
Tell me how you'd feel?
