Dat Song!

SING DAT SONG FOR WE, MY SISTA
SING IT IN ITS ORIGINAL KEY
EACH NOTE REPRESENTS OUR DESTINY

SING DAT SONG FOR WE, SISTA
WOMEN OF DESTINY
AS WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO HEAR THE MELODY
THAT’S IN TUNE WITH OUR REALITY
OF BEING WITH MEN WHO DON’T WANT TO COMMIT
BUT WHO ALWAYS DEFINE WE
AND DENY WE OUR CHANCE OF STABILITY

THEY DON’T SEEM TO SEE
IT’S NOT ABOUT HOUSE CAR AND LOADS OF MONEY
BUT INSTEAD OF INTEGRITY
OF OUR BOY CHILE HAVING THE MUCH NEEDED
ROLE MODEL OF A DADDY
AND THE WELL DESERVED DEMISE
OF THE TERM BABY MUMMY

SING DAT SONG SISTA SING
AS WE CONTINUE TO BE
LOVER, MOTHER, SISTER, AUNTIE,
LAWYER, DOCTOR
HEY SISTAS ARE YOU HEARING ME?

HAVING STRONG PERSONALITIES
BEING RESILIANT AND WILLING TO GIVE
EVERYTHING A TRY
AS THE SONG STARTS TO ECHO

“NO WOMAN NO CRY”

SING IT COS YOUR VOICE EXPRESSES WE
AFFIRMING WE
EXPLORING WE
ASSURING US DAT WE CAN BE WHATEVER
WE WANT TO BE
AND REJECTING ALL THAT IS CONTRARY
TO WHAT WE BELIEVE
AS YOU HOLD OUT THAT A MINOR KEY
LET US HUM IN UNITY


SING
SING
SING

LET THIS SONG HAVE NO ENDING
IT’S A SONG OF THE SOUL
A SONG OF THE MIND
TRULY IT’S A SONG NO RECORD COMPANY CAN BUY
UNLIKE
“ME, MYSELF AND I”
IT’S A SONG ABOUT WE
AND NOT INDIVIDUALITY

SING
SING
SING

AS IT CAUSES THE SOUL STIRRING OF EVERY
BLACK WOMAN

SING
