[Intro: Raheem DeVaughn | MC Lyte]
Woman, woman, woman
Woman, woman, woman
Uh-huh
[Verse 1: MC Lyte]
I ain't never wanted nothing but some respect
And see the love from his eyes be reflected
Never looking for a handout or a check
Just a humble spirit looking for a real connection
Love from the depths of my soul I am giving
Loyal to the death with a heart made to listen
Open to give and receive, be the air that you breathe
Help you move into a king’s position
I don't wanna sit up on this throne by my lonely
Want a ride or die but not someone to own me (Yes)
I should be the fix that you need when the world makes you bleed
Never leave is what my mama told me
[Chorus: Raheem DeVaughn | MC Lyte]
She's the greatest bestowed to me
Made in the image of royalty (Yeah)
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Ain’t nothing like a woman, woman, woman
From the crown of her head to the toes on her feet
Down to the melanin in her skin
She's strong like a rock (Strong as a rock)
Yeah, ain't nothing like a woman, woman, woman, yeah
[Verse 2: Big Daddy Kane | MC Lyte]
You know what? That queen gene is mean, and your routine is
Since a clean serene teen stepping fresh on the scene
And once I felt need for what real help means
Gave up every different hottie for a real wisdom body
Some be out searching far and long
But now you got me going Gaga, a star is born (Yeah)
That royal treatment (Oh), you deserve it
You ain't make it easy, but huh, you made it worth it
[Verse 3: Salt]
Flattery'll get you nowhere, it don't matter
Words without action is just chit-chatter
Respect is a must, I ain't with the thuggin'
Tricks are for kids, I’m a grown ass woman
I hit the stage (Woo), get the paper, I’m a boss
Salt going in, Lyte going off
Hands up if you know your worth
Then stand up 'cause it’s ladies first, sis
[Chorus: Raheem DeVaughn | MC Lyte]
She's the greatest bestowed to me
Made in the image of royalty (Royalty)
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Ain't nothing like a woman, woman, woman
From the crown of her head to the toes on her feet
Down to the melanin in her skin
She's strong like a rock (Strong as a rock)
Yeah, ain’t nothing like a woman, woman, woman, (Yeah), yeah
[Verse 4: MC Lyte]
Greatest gift God gave was a woman
We raised children when other women couldn't
Well aware of the care that's needed for our heirs
And you get out exactly what you put in
Nothing like a big mama, nana or an auntie support
Still loving and they giving when you coming up short
They believe you can be better, so you show up
Pushing for you to be the best when you decide to grow up
[Verse 5: Salt | MC Lyte]
I been anointed since day one (Day one)
My mama's a G and she raised one (Raised one)
I'm a queen in real life, I don't play one (Never that)
I speak my mind, dare you to say something (Say something)
When life gets harder, I get smarter, I never give up
You ain't gotta show me love, just get my money up
Don't be mad, I'ma stay lit, so please don't trip
Keep up or I'ma dip and send you back to the sticks
[Chorus: Raheem DeVaughn | MC Lyte]
She's the greatest bestowed to me (Yeah)
Made in the image of royalty
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Ain't nothing like a woman, woman, woman, woman
From the crown of her head to the toes on her feet
Down to the melanin in her skin
She's strong like a rock (Strong as a rock)
Yeah, ain't nothing like a woman, woman, woman, yeah
[Outro: MC Lyte]
Yeah, like a woman
Ain't nothing, ain't nothing like a woman
Strong as a rock and she can't be stopped
It ain't nothing like a grown woman
