You remind me of my mother's greatest fear Gave her life in my protection Through the years, from my tears Then you came along and tore it down With your deception, you let me drown In all the tears my mother saved, hit me like a wave Let's go, bitch! Oh, the words of a woman scorned She'll move a mountain for me Cross the driest desert for her child Like a hurricane, I bring the roots up from the ground Oh, sing for me, sing for me Sing for me, sing for me And all will hit me like a wave, I have been betrayed Sing to me, girl Sing for me, sing for me Oh, sing for me, sing for me Baby, I know it got you excited You could run away and see what you could find You could run the world if you could let them see Voices, voices trying to make you change your mind The sun will shine on your face As this world ain't got no love, ain't got no love, ain't got no love But if you judge me, mother, mother, I don't know where to start I stay when it breaks my heart Maybe there's still time to explain But I'm too tired of feeling my pain now It's like this sweat, it's hard to breathe I cry for help, but you get here any faster, any faster Sing for me, sing for me Keep my head, hold me steady Hold me steady, I'm so heavy, mother Hold me steady, oh, oh, oh And all will hit me like a wave, I have been betrayed I need your protection, I need your protection You have my protection, you have my protection Come on, give me your protection You have my protection, I need your protection You have my protection
