Verse1:
She caught up with my old lies
And after some years then she realised
That I am hopeless
’Cause I beat on women
I promised I’d stop but I didn’t try
In front of my kids I’m a man of crime
Oh she’s had enough
’Cause I beat on women
Chorus:
She said: Sticks and stones may break bones
But you’re not gonna hurt me
I’m gonna speak out to the nation and the women around me
I’m gonna use my downs to get up
Hook:
I’m a woman beater
I’m a woman beater
I’m a woman beater
Oh yes I’m a woman beater
Verse 2:
Instead of breaking her down I just made her strong
I raised my arm she grabbed a microphone
And preached to the world
About woman beaters
She took all my kids as she prayed for me
I went down her with her tears as she said Amen
Oooh what have I done?
I’m a woman beater
Chorus:
She said sticks and stones may break my bones
But you’re not gonna hurt me
I’m gonna speak out to the nation and the women around me
I’m gonna use my downs to get up
Bridge:
In your darkness there’s an opportunity to see the light
In all your wrongs don’t look for a right
Synchronize yourself, you’re not perfect am I right (x2)
Chorus:
She said sticks and stones may break my bones
But you’re not gonna hurt me
I’m gonna speak out to the nation and the women around me
I’m gonna use my downs to get up
Hook:
I’m a woman beater
I’m a woman beater
I’m a woman beater
Oh yes I’m a woman beater
