Look, I think it's time that I man up
I dedicate this to the women so stand up
You have a heart with lot of pain, plus you fed up
And got a dark cloud of rain over your head, huh?
Well stand tough, ladies I know your feet hurtin'
But keep workin' I promise you it'll be worth it
Stuck with hella bills got you salty cuz your check is missing
But check it listen, cuz it's time you get your recognition
And this shit is, how it be for real
Us men live a lie yet we claim to keep it real
It just feels, ridiculous, sometimes your innocent
Cuz in the midst, I call women bitches and hoes
F*ck, I'm a hypocrite
So pay attention you look beautiful in every way
From any shade, to every shape, down to every day
You dedicate, long hours to the gym
Shower then look in the mirror
Wanna smile but you hesitate
Hoping the pounds will get away, and go down on the weight scale
That ass got firmer but we can't tell, so please wipe your tears
You know you came a long way, you missed your mascara?
It's gonna be a long day
Tell me why your insecure, rest assured
You need confidence, the cure, yea I'm sure
But you're knocking it, don't know how to take compliments
As hard as it seems, so show me how you got your guard up
With your heart on your sleeves? you see
And Brenda's still throwing babies in the trashcan
We don't care we're nosey we just wanna know what happened
Talkin', askin', gossip, actin', shockin', laughin'
She's another story on Facebook and that's it
And I'll be fuckin' damned as a man and as a father
If I gotta watch my daughter be homeless and get to starving
Cuz I promise she'll be smarter than the best cuz we on it
She'll be harder than the rest, you can bet, if you wanna (For real)
Women have some things that they don't wanna talk about
Memories of daddy walking out, so now you block it out
Then wonder why your in bed with some tissues
Cuz you never leave your man when he hits you
It's abandonment issues, baby
So don't you let up, get up
Be a go getter and go get better
Let this song be your voice, make you strong in your situation
Cuz we all need some inspiration (Look)

I understand where you're coming from (I do)
The answer's to your problem's over here what you running from? (Tell me)
I understand what you're coming from
The answer's to your problem's over here what you running from? (Huh?)
I understand what you're coming from (What you running from?)
The answer's to your problem's over here what you running from
I understand what you're coming from (I do)
The answer's to your problem's over here what you running from? (Yea)

I know you wonder why they call you bitch
Cuz you sell yourself short spreading all your shit
Lettin' niggas hit you up, then f*ck, and split
You're in your feelings, he's all up in your guts and shit
Your stuck and pissed, but what is this
Hell? it's real life
Well, it's time to realize, what it feels like
Set expectations and respect yourself
Instead of checking out them rumors go and check yourself
Maybe you're lonely, maybe you don't have any homies
Maybe there all men because women are phony
Maybe the're jealous, cuz your chilling with the fellas
And men that they wanna f*ck, so the plans to get you jumped
But what, is the issue
Niggas only kick it cuz you're bad
And they just wanna bust a nut and f*ck, and pass it
Bunch of savages it's sad, cuz once you don't let em the're mad
And not having it, So the're butthurt like faggots and now they diss you
It's true, I think that ladies are the greatest
The carrier for babies and yet they still end up hated
You're amazing, let that shit kick in (Let that shit kick in)
What about now, is it in
Dedrick cares if don't nobody else it seems
I don't want nothing from you, I'm just welcoming
I mean yea, I understand what helping means
You got the foundation, let me build your self esteem
Fasho, this goes out to women battling depression
And the college girl that's stressing, over test and work obsessing
And also to the single mother juggling being a parent
Struggling, for a blessing to be an appearance
I love women and it's time that I said it more
Your stronger than all of us men give you credit for
Your there when we're down
When we frown, your around to cope
This song is a dedication I hope, so know

I understand where you're coming from (I do)
The answer's to your problem's over here what you running from? (Tell me)
I understand what you're coming from
The answer's to your problem's over here what you running from? (Huh?)
I understand what you're coming from (What you running from?)
The answer's to your problem's over here what you running from
I understand what you're coming from (I do)
The answer's to your problem's over here what you running from? (Yea)
