Never Say

You can’t say I ain’t do my job
Gave my labor, you took all my love
Shared my dreams but it wasn’t enough
You wanted a man and I called your bluff
I wasn’t too tough when I shed my tears
Where’s the love? Because it’s sure not here
I call you lazy ‘cause you’re working my nerves
You can hurt me, but baby, don’t hurt her
Something you could never say
Is I don’t take care of my baby
I just think this shit is crazy
How you want to take away
My power

Power
Power
Power

We went to court and the
First thing that your mama said
To the judge is that she need more brеad

Now, jail ain’t no place for no black man
Especially if he ain’t so much as raisе his hand
I might have hung out sometimes with my friends
But that don’t make your daddy no bad man
I’ma say this now, even though you can’t comprehend
Everybody you start with ain’t gon’ make it to the end
The problem is me and your mama ain’t friends
And that’s something you don’t think about when you’re in the bed
But something she could never say
Is I didn’t take care of my baby
Me and her ain’t make it, but hey
We’re here today so she can garnish my wages
For power

Power
Power
Power

The reason that daddy is gone away
Is ‘cause I lost my job today
