Lyrics
Daddy's mama was a child of the nation
Raised on a white man's little reservation
Three girls, one more in the belly of her mama
Robbed by death, giving life to a daughter
Baby grew up fast, yeah, she was a fast one
One half child, the other half woman
Shotgun wedding 'fore the baby arrived
Man run off, left a child to raise a child
Partake of pleasure
And reap the shame
The hand that holds the power
Assigns the blame
And this old world turns on a woman's pain
"Throw me a bonе and I'll make you a woman"
God said to Adam in the Garden of Edеn
The moment her lips touched forbidden fruit
He said, "I'll curse you with pain and a man will rule you"
Partake of pleasure
And reap the shame
The hand that holds the power
Assigns the blame
And this old world turns on a woman's pain
