NO!

Lyrics by Kevin Powell

 

CHORUS

I thought I told you, nooo—

My body told you, nooo—

Thought my eyes told you, nooo—

Thought my screams told you, nooo—

Then why did you do me just like so?

 

VERSE 1

Think back in time

When you and I spun love rhymes

But then the kidnappers came

Put us in chains and life ain’t never been the same

He raped me and he made two yous

And on our knees is where we began these blues

 

CHORUS

 

VERSE 2

Southern tress hung ya

But did I do that to ya?

Scared of him so you attack me?

Guess you got to set that anger free

Purple is the color of my lips

As blood roses lay buried in my hips

 

CHORUS 2X

 

BRIDGE

Black power if you a man

Open them legs if you a wo-man

Civil rights if you a man

Nice and tight if you a wo-man

Hiphop it if you a man

Dr-drop it if you a wo-man

Like the freedom Fannie Lou sowed

Sick and tired of bein' sick and tired
