1990s
I know they like to
beat ya down a lot
When you come around the block,
brothas clown a lot
But please don't cry,
dry your eyes,
never let up
Forgive but don't forget, girl,
keep your head up
And when he tells you you
ain't nuttin'
don't believe him
And if he can't learn
to love you,
you should leave him
'Cause sista you don't need him
beat ya down a lot
When you come around the block,
brothas clown a lot
But please don't cry,
dry your eyes,
never let up
Forgive but don't forget, girl,
keep your head up
And when he tells you you
ain't nuttin'
don't believe him
And if he can't learn
to love you,
you should leave him
'Cause sista you don't need him
