Текст песни: Family (Skit) + перевод

They did not tell us that all of that

«being my own person and my being independent»

would lead to separation, loneliness, celibacy, and lesbianism

They didn’t tell us that if you give up the man

you’re gonna take one of these things

it gets worse and would destroy your nation

They made us think it was some kind of glorified position

to brag about the fact that I got my own job

my own credit card, my own car

so I don’t need no man

I don’t even know how we got that mixed up

ain’t none of that got anything to do with having being with no man

We have some serious relationship problems, you know

over 60% of our women are single, widowed, separated, or divorced.

They don’t have a man. They need fathers they need protection.

To raise a child

you need a parental coalition of a man and a woman.

We have sons by not having have a father in the home

they don’t know how to respect women.

They may bring the welfare system in

and tell us in order to feed and clothe and house our children

we have to give up our man-we have to put the man out of the house.

When the white farmwife goes to the government for subsidy for the farm

they don’t tell them to get rid of the farm

and they keep that family together.

But in the black community they make it a requirement

because they want to keep endorsing into the black community

that the black man is no good
