Good Woman Down

Went through the same point of givin' up

And life is a mutha, it's hard to sit back and see

Don't be afraid you can, you can breakthrough
You can't hold me down, can't hold me down, no no no
Been many days couldn't take the pain
Use my songs as remedy
You can't hold a good woman down

You can't hold me, you can't hold a good woman down
The same thing that happened to me happen to you
Lookin' at you resembles me
This ain't love but here's the love I wanna give to you
That he'll never hit you again, girl don't cry

You can't hold me, you can't hold me down
I felt like I had enough went to the edge of the ledge
Seen the things that you can see
You can't hold a good woman down
But I didn't jump my life will sum it up
And life is a mutha, it's hard to sit back and see
You can't hold me, you can't hold me down
It doesn't matter what they say or do don't let 'em get to you
Runnin' in the streets no self esteem
There you have it, I'm still with you my sisters
My troubled sisters, I still have troubles, too
This ain't love but here's the love I wanna give to you
You can't hold a good woman down

But I didn't jump my life will sum it up
Girl recognize you're better than him tellin' you
Trust and know that I've been where you're at
Don't be afraid you can, you can breakthrough
But you gotta hold your own

Went through the same point of givin' up

All my sisters my troubled sisters

Whenever you're feelin' down or blue
Felt I should take my life away
My mother down, down to her feet
You're not alone, I'll always be there for you, rock on
When I used to see my daddy beat
I felt like I had enough went to the edge of the ledge
Thinkin' that used to be me what a shame?
It doesn't matter what they say or do don't let 'em get to you
See it everyday in every other young sisters' face

But I didn't jump my life will sum it up
I felt like I had enough went to the edge of the ledge

The same thing that happened to me happen to you
You can't hold a good woman down
Take what I've been through to see that

Now look at you bruised up from him
I used to say that ain't gon' never be me
You can't hold a good woman down
Take what I've been through to see that
Through your changes I will hold your hand
See 'em cryin' out, oh my, full of doubt

You can't hold a good woman down
It doesn't matter what they say or do don't let 'em get to you
Don't be afraid you can, you can breakthrough
Take what I've been through to see that
This is my gift to you
Went through the same point of givin' up
I'll be there for you
