Newbreedirons - HerStory Lyrics

"Its not easy to talk about situations like this, somebody gotta do it
I stand for every female that's ever been through something
And was afraid to talk about it, HerStory"

Layin in the bed
She heard someone come sneakin in
No it's not her brothers or the tappin coming from the wind
Yea its uncle tryin to steal her rose and break it in
He held her down time and again
Tell no one niece not even friends
She'd cry after, and clean herself up in the bathroom
Looking in the mirror crying, praying for the next chapter
What Just happened, Please tell me Uncle what just happened
I thought you would protect me
Not neglect and steal my flower
I thought you was the image of a real man with power
You just a monster created right from the devils tower

In Yourself Believe
In Yourself Believe

Walking in the rain
Tears down her face
Everybody bashin
They hate her cause she gay
She from a small town and they all religion bound
Worshipping a white man whose prophecy keeps them down
They turn they backs on us
Get stingy with they love
Deny us as they blood, and throw us in the mud
What would your Jesus do?
I thought he gave you rules
The God within you is buried
And fighting you to get through

In Yourself Believe (It's the God In Me)
In Yourself Believe
In Yourself Believe (It's the God In Me)
In Yourself Believe

Looking in the mirror
She always so damn bitter
Her skin is dark and she's afraid that no man will be with her
Her closets full of Secrets
Don't wanna but she keep it
Bottles of Xan
The cheap ass wigs
The scale with the high digits
Her daddy wasn't there
Didn't mean he didn't care
The streets and bill collectors calling
No time to be there
Monkey on her mamas back
In fact it stole the Christmas sack
And sold it for a ounce of crack
But lets not take it there, damn

Your Beautiful
In Yourself Believe (It's the God In Me)
Your Beautiful
In Yourself Believe
Your Beautiful
In Yourself Believe (It's the God In Me)
Your Beautiful
In Yourself Believe
Your Beautiful
In Yourself Believe
Your Beautiful
Your Beautiful (It's the God In Me)
Your Beautiful (It's the God In Me)
Your Beautiful...
