take my body give it yo brand
stitch my breasts on the fatherland
wait around a decade or two
and see just what i'll do.
place my dreams on any back stair
tune my eyes for yo' nightmare
wait around a century or two
and see what I'll finally do.
suck my breath until i stutter
listen to the sounds i utter
wait around a decade or two
and see just what i'll do.
take my daughter one sunday morn
drape her in dresses to be torn
wait around a century or two
and see what i'll finally do.
all dressed in white
find yourself a brand new wife
wait around a decade or two
and see what she'll finally do.
and see what she'll finally do.
