I could buy my own groceries baby Get my hair tight my nails right I can floss my own bling bling
Write the words to the songs I sing
I can even raise the child we'll make
Make sure he's loved and knows what God gave us
I can teach him how to walk and stand
But he needs you to help him be a man We need you So hard to say
We need you
Some things don't change
I could be congresswoman
Or a garbage woman or
Police officer or a carpenter
I could be a doctor and a lawyer and a mother and a good girl
God what you've done to me
Kind of lover I could be
I could be a computer analyst the Queen
with the nappy hair raising her fist
Or I could be much more and a myriad of this
Hot as the summer sweet as the first kiss
And even though I can do all these things
I need you
And even though I can do all these things
We need you
