Lyrics

[Verse 1] Daddy's Mama was a child of the nation Raised on a white man's little reservation Three girls, one more in the belly of her Mama Robbed by death giving life to her daughter [Verse 2] Baby grew up fast, yes she was a fast one One half child, the other half woman Shotgun wedding 'fore the baby arrived Man run off, left a child to raise a child [Chorus] Partake of pleasure and reap the shame The hand that holds the power assigns the blame And this whole world turns on a woman's pain [Verse 3] "Throw me a bonе and I'll make you a woman" God said to Adam in the Garden of Edеn The moment her lips touched forbidden fruit He said, "I'll curse you with pain and a man will rule you" [Chorus] Partake of pleasure and reap the shame The hand that holds the power assigns the blame And this whole world turns on a woman's pain
