Don't You Be No Fool!

My dear and precious sista
Let's think about this thing
You promised this man to honor and obey
When you received that wedding ring

For better or worse
That's what you said
In sickness and in health
Rich or poor
Up or down
No matter how you felt

But you didn't agree to physical abuse
To be slapped upon your face
To constantly forgive him for what HE'S done
When you're the one disgraced

Sista you're a queen with Royal Blood
Running through your veins
Put your scepter in your hand
Let's not play these silly games

If he hit you once, he'll do it again
Until God has set him free
He'll tell you he loves you
And won't do it no more
Oh he'll cop some sorry plea

Yes the God we serve
He hates divorce
He wants your marriage to work
But PHYSICAL ABUSE
That's another story
Now don't you be no jerk

Yes PRAY for him
Do all you can
To show the love of God
Be patient, kind, and loving too
Even though it may be hard

Does he really love you
That's the question to ask
When he raises up his hand
Cause if he does
He'll answer you
He'll fess up
Like a REAL MAN

A real man CAN admit his wrong
Though painful it may be
A real man would stop this foolishness
Because his error he would see

He'd see you as a queen
To cherish for all his days
He'd see you as someone special
And he'd express that in many ways

Slapping you is not the way
To show his love for you
If he doesn't stop, remove yourself
Or you'll end up black and blue

Separate for a little while
Give HIM some time to think
Let HIM miss his GOOD THANG
Oh he will...before he blinks

He'll appreciate the gift he has
And he'll learn to treat you right
See no one in their right mind
Wants to continuously battle and fight

Sista don't you be no fool
By putting up with his mess
Put him in the Masters hands
Cause YOU deserve THE BEST

Don't You Be No Fool!!!
