She gon' say
She gon' say I be lady-o
She gon' say
She gon' say I be lady-o
Oh, African man don't you know
With a fist, your love don't show
Take my hand let's leave this valley
Use your strength and love to guide me
I'm your lady, I'll be your queen
Try to harm me, you'll hear me scream
I gon' say
I gon' say I be lady-o
I gon' say
I gon' say I be lady-o
Oh African woman, strong and free
Remove yourself from misery
If he can't see the power in your soul
Gather all your pride and go
Raising babies, always a queen
Try to harm her, you'll hear me scream
She gon' say
She gon' say I be lady-o
She gon' say
She gon' say I be lady-o
