Lowkey - Something Wonderful Lyrics
Something wonderful...To chase it all awayFor the women of the world, because women are the worldMixing my emotions... to close the bad againI'm just letting you know...I'm tryna be a good man I can't speak for the othersKnow the saying heaven lies at the feet of your motherMine showed me the definition of hard work andSmiles through her tears even though her heart's hurtingSpeaks her mind and never ever bites her tongueI guess today you can say I'm just like my mumGreat grandmother was in Beirut in '82In a flat when it got invaded by Israeli troopsSleeping in the hallway for shelter from the bulletsAnd that's why I'll always respect her to the fullestPhysically gone, all memories are kept in a pictureIn Baghdad my nan slept with a Beretta in her slipperYou're judged as a man by everything you amount toAnd the respect that you show the women around youSo think about that stuff when you diss herThat's somebody's daughter, somebody's mother and somebody's sisterSomething wonderful...To chase it all awayMixing my emotions.. to close the bad againI'm not claiming to be perfect I know what a curve isBut a woman's worth isn't just on the surfaceI see too many young women craving affectionDegrading themselves for a male's attentionI know it's love that you're certain that you feltBut messing with these different guys you're just searching for yourselfWould it whore-ish to boast how high your score isWhen a man does it, a player is what you call himWhat if it's all just lies when she talks to guysDisplays promiscuous ways like it's all alrightWould it make you squirm if the tables turnedIs that really what it would take to make you learnYou're judged as a man by everything you amount toAnd the respect that you shown the women around youSo think about that stuff when you diss herThat's somebody's daughter, somebody's mother and somebody's sisterI said think about that stuff when you diss herThat's somebody's daughter, somebody's mother and somebodySomething wonderful...To chase it all awayFor the women of the world, because women are the worldMixing my emotionsI'm just letting you know...Something wonderful...To chase it all awayMixing my emotions.. to close the bad againCertain things are too deep to put in a verseLet me apologise to every single woman I've heartOr disrespected whether family members or ex'sI wanna make amends for however I left itMen make them, but the women get harmed in warsI pray for a heart as pure as Assata Shakur'sWe put them down on the pedestal we should put themBehind every good man, there's a good womenBetty Shabazz lost her husband to the handgunsAnd lost her life when her house was burned down by her grandsonCapila saw her father murdered when the hammers passedSo I feel her pain when she tried to murder FarengaYou're judged as a man by everything you amount toAnd the respect that you shown the women around youSo think about that stuff when you diss herThat's somebody's daughter, somebody's mother and somebody's sisterI said think about that stuff when you diss herThat's somebody's daughter, somebody's mother and somebody
