Womansong Songtext

von Ursula Rucker

Ungrateful, ungracious eyes oggle
At 8th wonderfuls
Wonder fills small minds
That make no time
For sincerity...for sincerity

God-fruit, we
Sugary, plentiful
Not rib bone alone
Soul, home

No, evil does not derive from my name
No, evil does not derive from my name

Fertilizer feeds the earth
But from the earth come the flowers
But from the earth come...
The flowers
The flowers
The flowers

Ungrateful, ungracious eyes oggle
At 8th wonderfuls
Wonder fills small minds
That make no time

Ungrateful, ungracious eyes oggle
At 8th wonderfuls
Wonder fills small minds
That make no time
For sincerity

Empty
The pretend praise
Raised brows and penises
Await response from fly Venus'
Who grace each sidewalk square
With a mastery of movement and mod
Misadmired by the masses

All they can or want to see
Are scantily clad asses that swing
And beg to be slapped
During self satisfying sex
Say my name

Ain't no sistas or mommas here to protect
Just tricks and bitches to catch
In traps
Of covert compliments and Jesus' judgment

Strong-willed women and divas seen as
Asking-for-it, homewrecking whores with
No morals

Sounds like Salem and slavery to me

Ungracious, ungrateful eyes oggle
At 8th wonderfuls
Wonder fills small minds
That make no time
For sincerity

Ungrateful, ungracious eyes oggle
At 8th wonderfuls
Wonder fills small minds
That make no time
Make no time
Make no time
Make no time
For sincerity
For sincerity
For sincerity

Now, I was born a slave, a rebel, an inherent queen no thing,
Situation or person can steal my birthright I came forth in the
Night a force to be unreckoned with you sure you want to get with
This

Some may attempt to falter my steps...knock me down...but I am
Resilient...I just bounce

I...just...bounce

I...just...bounce

I...just...bounce

Able to leap small minds in a single bound

Land feet first on the ground

I abound with...Shelectricity

I'ma sing my womansong...make you listen to me
I'ma sing my womansong...make you listen to me

Make you listen
Make you listen

While you covet my rhythm
Why you treat me like the unforgiven
Call me mystery...like the Shroud of Turin

I'm more than
I'm more than
I'm more than
I'm more than
I'm more than...that

Ain't your doormat, your sugar tit
Your own personal supply of bliss
Your in-house ass to kick

I ain't your doormat, your sugar tit
Your in-house supply of bliss
Your own personal ass to kick

You better rethink this
You better rethink this
You better rethink this

Ungrateful, ungracious eyes oggle
At 8th wonderfuls
Wonder fills small minds
That make no time
Ungrateful, ungracious eyes oggle
At 8th wonderfuls
Wonder fills small minds
That make no time
Ungrateful, ungracious eyes oggle
At 8th wonderfuls
Wonder fills small minds...

That make no time
Make no time
Make no time
Make no time
Make no time...for sincerity

For sincerity
