letra de ladies - tunnel rats

[verse 1: elsie, zane, elsie & zane]
first of all, don’t mistake me for what y’all see (what’s that?)
to some i’m just a girl but to others the emcee
and i be too complex to be labeled or branded
god gave me life to multiply and expand it
so i be every woman and all things to all (all)
from that brenda got your back to that sister that you call
i be the wife of n-ble character in proverbs 31 (word)
can see me through the ages, help you reach the sun
mother of creation while you father expectation
daughter of mount zion mourning for our nations
singin’ emanc-p-tion while world keep us caged
behind walls of insecurity, false fictions being played (tell ’em!)
aided our demise, now wake up and realize
when it comes to self-worth, there ain’t no time to compromise
’cause i been through it all from the mountain to the valley
come from park in roxbury to the streets of cali, so

[hook: elsie, zane, elsie & zane]
ladies lend a ear
no need for the fear
with this message that we freakin’ so clear
in the rhythm
ladies free your mind and your heart will follow
do it now girl, you ain’t promised tomorrow

ladies lend a ear
no need for the fear
with this message that we freakin’ so clear
in the rhythm
ladies free your mind and your heart will follow
do it now girl, you ain’t promised tomorrow

[verse 2: elsie, zane, elsie & zane]
mistreated and abused, fantasized-ed by the youth
we’ve been all things to all men from a goddess to a serpent
worshiped and hung, kissed and cursed by the same tongue
treated as a rumor tossed among children
taken and left, chosen by thoughts, wasted breaths
made a mess of what god created, true beauty got faded
traded for s-x and money
funny cause we tend to do the same
women turned cold learn how to play the game
no shame, such is heart of a seductress
all good when you’re living in land of the corrupted
body gets fed, spirit’s left neglected
hearts filled idol worship, true god is detested
cries for signs and wonders, inspected manifested
wit’out turnin’ from our ways, lived a life that was intended
so we walk through our struggles, forced to carry on
living in babylon, all women stay strong

[hook: elsie & zane]
ladies lend a ear
no need for the fear
with this message that we freakin’ so clear
in the rhythm
ladies free your mind and your heart will follow
do it now girl, you ain’t promised tomorrow

ladies lend a ear
no need for the fear
with this message that we freakin’ so clear
in the rhythm
ladies free your mind and your heart will follow
do it now girl, you ain’t promised tomorrow

[verse 3: zane, elsie, zane & elsie]
i don’t have wealth, a career or no job (nah)
just stay home barefoot and be a mom
i look for security in a man on tv (tv)
even in politics or the presidency but
i gave into years of condescendment
from my pastor, father, brothers and government
my sistresses, i know it’s hard not to react
just listen, to gain the virtues of god, got to forgive him
carry grace, humility and respect
receive through all the tears that you wept
and now i notice (what?)
that your heart has been hardened
cause it keeps takin’ you back into the garden
where adam still pressures to please (please)
now he’s gonna get down and blame it on me (what?)
his -ssumptions of the woman in me are all off
he won’t ask for directions to my heart, he’ll stay lost
and we are free, steadily suffering
from insecurity, rapidly plummeting
you gotta get up, you know you ain’t alone
in the name of sisterhood, we must stay strong (stay strong)

[outro: elsie, elsie & zane]
ladies (ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies)
ladies (ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies)
you ain’t promised tomorrow
